Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are common causes of respiratory illness, particularly in children. They are divided into four types, with distinct clinical patterns. HPIV-1 and HPIV-3 are major causes of croup (laryngo tracheo bronchitis), a harsh, barking cough, HPIV-3 is often associated with more severe disease, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia, especially in infants. In contrast, HPlV-2 most commonly causes croup as well, but it is also frequently linked to acute laryngitis (hoarse voice) in older children and adults. While HPlV-1 and 3 tend to cause lower airway inflammation, HPlV-2's hallmark is often inflammation of the upper airway and voice box, All types are spread through respiratory droplets.
