<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Pathophysiology==<br /> [[File:Illu conducting passages.svg|thumb|upright|The common cold is a disease of the [[upper respiratory tract]].]]<br /> The symptoms of the common cold are believed to be primarily related to the [[immune]] response to the virus. The mechanism of this immune response is virus-specific. For example, the rhinovirus is typically acquired by direct contact; it binds to humans via [[ICAM-1|ICAM-1 receptors]] and the [[Cadherin related family member 3|CDHR3 receptor]] through unknown mechanisms to trigger the release of [[inflammatory mediators]]. These inflammatory mediators then produce the symptoms. It does not generally cause damage to the nasal [[epithelium]]. The respiratory syncytial virus ([[Human respiratory syncytial virus|RSV]]), on the other hand, is contracted by direct contact and airborne droplets. It then replicates in the nose and throat before frequently spreading to the [[lower respiratory tract]]. RSV does cause epithelium damage. Human [[parainfluenza]] virus typically results in inflammation of the nose, throat, and [[bronchus|bronchi]]. In young children, when it affects the [[Vertebrate trachea|trachea]], it may produce the symptoms of [[croup]], due to the small size of their airways.</div>
