As research of HRV is limited [8] , especially in Asian developing countries, this study aims to examine the molecular epidemiology, the demographic characteristics and clinical features including the newly discovered HRV-C species, among hospitalized children less than 5 years of age with ALRTI in Malaysia. HRV infected patients were admitted earlier compared to RSV and influenza; children with HRV presented to the hospital after a mean duration of 1.9 days (ranged 1-9 days) as compared with HRV (4.0 days, p = <0.001) and IFV-A (4.8 days, p = 0.002). Our study revealed that HRV infected children were hospitalized earlier in the course of their disease and were less febrile on presentation as compared to RSV and IFV-A infections. ./cache/cord-268093-ta6k0uyz.txt ./txt/cord-268093-ta6k0uyz.txt
