The common cold can be caused by more than 200 viruses, typically rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, and adenoviruses, transmitted by direct contact, aerosols, or environmental surfaces. Due to its ability to rapidly mutate through antigenic drift and antigenic shift, influenza remains an important threat to human health. Two new influenza vaccines are developed annually.

Measles and rubella (German measles) are two important viral diseases often associated with skin rashes. However, their symptoms are systemic, and because their portal of entry is the respiratory tract, they can be considered respiratory infections.

Human IG is favored due to fewer allergic reactions compared to animal sources. It also offers therapeutic benefits for autoimmune disorders by potentially inhibiting macrophage activity. Ongoing research focuses on developing purified IG from specific donors and monoclonal antibodies for conditions such as anthrax.
