COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, leading to respiratory illness with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Influenza A and B are seasonal viruses that cause flu-like symptoms, with Influenza A often associated with more severe outbreaks. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) primarily affects infants and young children, causing bronchiolitis and pneumonia, while Adenovirus can lead to a variety of illnesses, including respiratory infections and conjunctivitis. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is a bacterium that causes atypical pneumonia, particularly in adolescents and young adults. Human Parainfluenza Virus (HPIV) is known for causing respiratory infections, especially in children, and has four types that can lead to croup and pneumonia. Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe respiratory illness, particularly in young children and the elderly.
