RESUMO
In the period between February and May 1979, in concomitance with a sharp increase in admittance to the pediatric Division of the Parma General Hospital for acute respiratory infections, we carried out a virologic and serologic investigation on hospitalized children aged 21 days-12 years. The investigation was carried out on 137 patients with respiratory diseases: 33 with bronchiolitis, which occurred mainly (32/33) between February and March in children that were prevalently (30/33) in the first year of life; 27 with upper respiratory tract infections; 54 with mid respiratory tract infections; 23 with pneumonia. Forty-eight controls (without respiratory infections) were also investigated. In the months of February and March there was a high circulation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV): throughout the entire period there was a lower incidence of Adenovirus infections and more uniformly distributed.

The authors have studied the sleep of 6 hydrocephalic infants. In 4 cases disturbed sleep was noticed, characterized by insomnia in 2 cases, and frequent interruptions of sleep in the other 2 cases. In the last cases no other particular alterations were observed. The research was continued in 2 cases, operated on with the Pudenz Valve. In one of which the valve functioned well, sleep was restructured. In the second case the valve did not function well and sleep was not restructured. This suggests the hypothesis that the endocranial hypertension may alter the sleep cycles.
