Acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis are major causes of mortality and morbidity in children under 5 years of age. The main microbial agents responsible for ALRTI are either bacterial agents ( type b, ) or viruses (respiratory syncytial virus (RSV, also known as human orthopneumovirus), adenovirus) [1]. More recently, other viruses (rhinovirus, metapneumovirus, coronavirus, bocavirus) have been implicated in ALRTI; their identification has been facilitated by new molecular biology techniques such as real-time PCR. To our knowledge, these emerging viruses have never been the subject of epidemiologic studies in our country.
急性下呼吸道感染(ALRTI),如肺炎和支气管炎,是5岁以下儿童死亡和发病的主要原因。导致ALRTI的主要微生物病原体要么是细菌病原体(b型),要么是病毒(呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV,也称为人正肺病毒)、腺病毒)[1]。最近,其他病毒(鼻病毒、偏肺病毒、冠状病毒、博卡病毒)也被认为与ALRTI有关;新型分子生物学技术如实时PCR有助于对它们的识别。据我们所知,这些新出现的病毒在我国从未成为流行病学研究的对象。
