Human parainfluenza virus infection in severe acute respiratory infection cases in Beijing, 2014‐2016: A molecular epidemiological study

Abstract

Besides the young children, the elders older than 60 years also showed a relatively high infection rate of HPIVs, which should be given comparable attentions. Moreover, the HPIV-3 circulating in China undergoes continued evolution, suggesting the potential risk of evolved HPIV infection should not be overlooked.
