Özet
Objective: To determine whether viral coinfection is a risk for severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). Working Hypothesis: Children with viral coinfection had a higher risk for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) than those with a single virus infection. Study Design: Retrospective, observational study for 10 years. Patient-Subject Selection: Children between 1 and 60 months of age hospitalized with LRTI.
