Pneumonia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. We described viral aetiologies, with particular interest in detecting SARS-CoV-2, in hospitalized pneumonia children. Human rhinovirus was the most frequently detected agent. No children tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Our findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection is rare in children and it was not circulating in Rome before COVID-19 outbreak.
肺炎是导致儿童发病和死亡的重要原因。我们对住院肺炎患儿的病毒病因进行了描述，特别关注新冠病毒（SARS-CoV-2）的检测。人鼻病毒是最常被检测到的病原体。没有儿童的 SARS-CoV-2 检测结果呈阳性。我们的研究结果表明，SARS-CoV-2 感染在儿童中较为罕见，在 COVID-19 爆发之前，SARS-CoV-2 并未在罗马传播。
