Increased risk during winter: common respiratory viruses and clinical outcomes in hospitalized children
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of children hospitalized due to viral lower respiratory tract infections, offering valuable insights into common respiratory pathogens. The findings underscore a higher incidence of these infections during the winter months. It is recommended that hBoV and IFV infections be closely monitored in children with underlying chronic conditions. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of meticulous management of hBoV and hRSV infections, given their association with an increased need for intensive care support.
