BACKGROUND Associations between respiratory viruses and the bacterial pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis may be important in the pathogenesis of otitis media (OM). However, data on asymptomatic identification rates of respiratory viruses are limited, particularly in Indigenous populations, who suffer a high burden of OM. METHODS We describe t...
متن کاملSelective infection of lower respiratory tract by respiratory viruses in children with recurrent respiratory tract infections.
Thirty preschool children presenting with recurrent respiratory infections and their unaffected siblings were observed prospectively for a year. The index children experienced more episodes of acute respiratory infection than their siblings. Respiratory viruses were the major cause of respiratory infections. The index children had lower respiratory tract disease, predominantly wheeze, during 34...
متن کاملSpectrum of respiratory viruses in children with community-acquired pneumonia.
BACKGROUND Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a significant cause for childhood morbidity worldwide. We designed a study with the objective of describing the frequency of respiratory viruses, especially rhinovirus (RV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV) and human bocavirus (HBoV) in hospitalized children with CAP. METHODS A 6-year prospective study was conducted in children <14 years old a...
