The invention provides a method for rapidly detecting HRV typing and EV by single-tube multiplex-RT-PCR. The method comprises the following steps: a) collecting a sample; b) extracting nucleic acid from the sample; c) adding the extracted nucleic acid to a premixed RT-PCR reagent; d) running an RT-PCR amplification program; and e) performing fragment analysis on the obtained RT-PCR amplification product, wherein the premixed RT-PCR reagent contains a primer specifically for HRV typing and a primer specifically for EV. The method has the advantages of simplicity in operation, short time and high flux, so a result can be obtained in 4 h at the soonest, and the method is suitable for clinic detection and scientific researches. The HRV virus typing result detected by the method can be used forguiding clinicians to medicate, and also can be used for the pathological study of rhinovirus infection.

The invention relates to a method for producing drug that treats virus infection of respiratory tract, wherein it uses Arbidol Hydrochloride as 6-bromine-4-(dimethylamino)-5-hydroxyl group-1-methyl-2-(benzene sulfenyl)-1H-indole-3-glycolate-hydrates. The invention can reduce the mouse dead rate affected by virus B3, B5, adenovirus, etc, and improve antibody level, with wide application.

The alpha-interferon has been used mainly in treating chronic viral infection. The present invention uses coronavirus or rhinovirus infected human cervical cancer cell as estimation model in observing the inhibition effect of alpha-interferon on common virus causing respiratory system infection. The results show that alpha-interferon may be used in preventing and treating coronavirus and rhinovirus caused diseases, including SARS. The integrated interferon, its mutant and interferon alpha-1b have even high inhibiting effect on new SARS virus.

Nitric oxide generating compounds or compounds which induce in situ synthesis of nitric oxide can be used to inhibit rhinovirus infection. Nitric oxide has the ability to inhibit both viral replication as well as the synthesis of cytokines, in particular the proinflammatory cytokines. Thus the symptoms of rhinovirus infections can be ameliorated by treatments to increase nitric oxide in the respiratory tract.

The invention relates to methods and compositions for preventing or treating human rhinovirus infection.
