We compared the epidemiology, severity and management of hospitalized respiratory syncytial virus (n = 305) and human metapneumovirus (n = 39) bronchiolitis in a setting with high respiratory virus testing (95% of admissions tested). Respiratory syncytial virus-positive infants were younger and tended to require more hydration support and longer hospital stays compared to human metapneumovirus-positive infants. Respiratory support requirements were similar between groups despite significant age differences.
在一个呼吸道病毒检测率很高(95%的入院患者接受检测)的环境中,我们比较了住院的呼吸道合胞病毒(n = 305)和人偏肺病毒(n = 39)引起的细支气管炎的流行病学、严重程度及治疗情况。与感染人偏肺病毒的婴儿相比,感染呼吸道合胞病毒的婴儿年龄更小,往往需要更多的补液支持,住院时间也更长。尽管两组年龄差异显著,但呼吸支持需求相似。
