The Common Cold — My Favourite Infection Free

Abstract

It is a great honour to be invited to give this lecture especially as my essay does not deal with subjects to which Marjory Stephenson herself contributed, such as bacteriology. On the other hand, I am sure that, like everyone else, she had colds from time to time and would approve the subject for that reason. This leads me to apologize for using the personal pronoun in my title. Sometimes lectures like this are judicious reviews of a whole subject. As we shall see, knowledge on the common cold is now too big a subject to be encompassed by one lecture and I propose instead to emphasize certain aspects which have been studied at the Medical Research Council Common Cold Unit (CCU), Salisbury and which I happen to think are important and interesting.
