We aimed to document the prevalence of selected viral and bacterial infections among children <5 years of age hospitalized with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) at selected hospitals in Niger from January 2010 through December 2012. We report the detection rate of selected viral and bacterial pathogens among children <5 years of age hospitalized with SARI in Niger.
