The spectrum of viral pathogens in children with severe acute lower respiratory tract infection: A 3‐year prospective study in the pediatric intensive care unit

Abstract

Viral infections are present in a consistent proportion of patients admitted to the PICU. IFV, RSV, HRV, and ADV accounted for more than two-thirds of all viral SALRTI. Our findings could help the prediction, prevention and potential therapeutic approaches of SALRTI in children.
