The median age and house-dust mite IgE levels at admission were significantly higher in the single infection group than those in the superinfection group (P < .001), whereas there were no significant differences in body temperature, SpO 2 , duration of hospitalization, serum levels of CRP, intensity of asthma exacerbation, and bronchial asthma severity between the two groups. The detection frequency of RV and RSV in our study was consistent with that in previous reports on the relationship between causative viruses and exacerbation in asthmatic patients, suggesting that our study illustrates the actual virus prevalence associated with asthma exacerbation. In conclusion, our three-season analysis on the prevalence of causative pathogens in hospitalized children with asthma exacerbation revealed that RV and RSV were most frequently detected. ./cache/cord-280859-3ff72mlq.txt ./txt/cord-280859-3ff72mlq.txt
