Respiratory infections are a leading cause of pediatric hospitalizations. This study investigated whether virus-virus or virus-Bordetella co-infections are more frequent or more severe than previously recognized.
This is a 3-year prospective study of children younger than 24 months hospitalized with a febrile respiratory illness. Viral pathogens were detected using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunoassays, and/or viral cultures from nasopharyngeal samples. Bordetella infections were detected by PCR.
A total of 201 patients were enrolled. Respiratory viruses were detected in 187 (93%) patients, with 52 (28%) multipathogen infections. The most common viruses detected were respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus/enterovirus. There were no differences in illness severity when comparing patients infected with one pathogen and those with multipathogen infection.
Virus co-infection in young children hospitalized with an acute febrile respiratory infection is common but does not appear to be associated with illness severity.
呼吸道感染是儿科住院的主要原因。本研究调查了病毒-病毒或病毒-博德特氏菌共感染是否比以前认识到的更常见或更严重。
这是一项对24个月以下因发热性呼吸道疾病住院的儿童进行的为期3年的前瞻性研究。使用多重聚合酶链反应(PCR)、酶联免疫测定和/或来自鼻咽样本的病毒培养物检测病毒病原体。通过PCR检测博德特氏菌感染。
共纳入201例患者。187例(93%)患者检测到呼吸道病毒,其中52例(28%)为多病原体感染。检测到的最常见病毒是呼吸道合胞病毒和鼻病毒/肠道病毒。比较感染一种病原体的患者和多病原体感染的患者,疾病严重程度没有差异。
因急性发热性呼吸道感染住院的幼儿中病毒共感染很常见,但似乎与疾病严重程度无关。
