Most studies have described the presence of RV genotypes in hospitalized patients with severe respiratory illness, and only a few studies have described the prevalence of virus genotypes in URTIs. In this work, we carried out a prospective multicenter study of two children populations having either URTI or LRTI. The phylogenetic trees in Figure 2 depict the wide distribution of 5′-UTR sequences of the RV-A and RV-C Table 1 Frequency of RV infections in children with upper and lower respiratory tract infections strains isolated from URTI and LRTI patients. This study describes the frequency of detection of rhinovirus species in children with upper and lower respiratory tract infections in Mexico and their genetic diversity, determined by sequencing the 5′ UTR region of the viral genome. ./cache/cord-289081-9v04gzhf.txt ./txt/cord-289081-9v04gzhf.txt
