A survey of 604 Yemeni children younger than 2 years with acute respiratory infections identified respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in 244 (40%), human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in 41 (7%) and RSV/HMPV coinfection in 25 (4%) children. RSV infections occurred in younger children and were associated with more severe hypoxia than observed with HMPV. Both viruses are important causes of severe acute respiratory infection in Yemen.
一项针对604名2岁以下患有急性呼吸道感染的也门儿童的调查发现，244名（40%）儿童感染了呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV），41名（7%）儿童感染了人偏肺病毒（HMPV），25名（4%）儿童同时感染了RSV/HMPV。RSV感染多见于年幼儿童，且与比HMPV感染时更严重的低氧血症有关。这两种病毒都是也门严重急性呼吸道感染的重要病因。
