Monopoly of Minor Group Rhinovirus Infections in Hospitalised Children in Hong Kong During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic
The predominance of RV-A49 in hospitalised children during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic potentially driven by its replication competence in HNECs and its capacity to enhanced inflammatory responses. The result is hypothesis-generating, warranting further studies with historical strains and broader populations to confirm strain-specific severity.
