Parainfluenza: A disease due to an acute respiratory infection caused by a parainfluenza virus. Parinfluenza occurs usually in children. The clinical picture can range from a relatively mild influenza-like one to bronchitis, croup, and pneumonia.
Parainfluenza refers to a group of viruses that lead to upper and lower respiratory infections.

The parainfluenza virus is a family of viruses that accounts for 75% of cases of croup. Croup generally affects young children between 3 months and 5 years of age. Boys are affected more often than girls.
Adenovirus and parainfluenza viral pneumonias are often accompanied by cold symptoms such as runny nose and pinkeye (conjunctivitis).

While significantly different virologically, parainfluenza viruses and RSVs will be considered together because of similarities in overall behavior. There are four types of parainfluenza viruses.
Croup is caused by a variety of different viruses, most commonly the parainfluenza virus.
epiglottitis
Epiglottitis is an acute life-threatening bacterial infection that results in swelling and inflammation of the epiglottis.
Infectious triggers in young children include respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and parainfluenza virus infection. In older children and adults, URIs (particularly with rhinovirus) and pneumonia are common infectious triggers.

Researchers have also found some association between AOSD and EB, CMV, mumps, parainfluenza, and other viruses.

Parainfluenza
The virus is transmitted from person to person by direct contact with nasal secretions or by airborne droplets. Although RSV generally causes only mild symptoms in an adult, it can cause a severe illness in an infant.
Adenovirus
Influenza
Parainfluenza
The virus is transmitted from person to person by direct contact with nasal fluids, or by airborne droplets. Although RSV generally causes only mild symptoms in an adult, it can cause severe illness in an infant.
Croup is most often caused by parainfluenza virus, primarily types 1 and 3, but other viral and possibly bacterial infections can also cause it. It is most common in the autumn but can occur year-round, with a slight predilection for males.
Those involved are usually parainfluenza virus (which accounts for most cases), adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Risk: The most common risk factor for developing acute bronchitis is infection with viruses that attack the upper airways such as influenza, parainfluenza, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus.
The viruses causing tonsillitis are the same viruses causing the common cold (rhinovirus, parainfluenza and influenza virus, respiratory syncitial virus, adenovirus) as well as the
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) which causes glandular fever.
The most common cause of croup is a viral infection (such as parainfluenza or influenza) that leads to swelling of the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe). However, infection with these viruses is common and most children do not develop croup.
Croup is often caused by the parainfluenza virus. Less often, respiratory syncytial virus, the measles virus or various other viruses cause croup.

Paget's disease, a focal destructive disease of bone, has long suspected paramyxoviruses such as CDV, measles, respiratory syncytial virus, simian virus 5, and parainfluenza virus Type 3 as a culprit.
The most common viruses include influenza A and B, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and coronavirus, although an etiologic agent is identified only in a minority of cases.[1] ...
More than 95 per cent of cases of croup are because of a viral infection, usually a type known as parainfluenza, although other viruses, such as RSV or influenza, may also cause it. In a small number of cases a bacterial infection is to blame.

Researchers are developing several potential vaccines against parainfluenza virus. In the future, one of these vaccines may be used to immunize children against croup.

Croup is usually (75% of the time) caused by parainfluenza viruses, but RSV, measles, adenovirus, and influenza can all cause croup.
