Molecular epidemiology and disease severity of respiratory syncytial virus in relation to other potential pathogens in children hospitalized with acute respiratory infection in Jordan 2007-11-26 .txt text/plain 4170 238 51 title: Molecular epidemiology and disease severity of respiratory syncytial virus in relation to other potential pathogens in children hospitalized with acute respiratory infection in Jordan Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the major viral cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in children. Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the leading viral cause of acute respiratory infection in infants and young children in terms of prevalence and effect [Shay et al., 2001] . We also compared the disease severity of HRSV subgroups A and B and their associated genotypes in hospitalized Jordanian children set in the context of other potential respiratory pathogens. A total of 72/326 (22%) patients had no pathogens detected by PCR (Table I) , but 254 (78%) had at least one potential respiratory pathogen detected which consisted of 140/ 326 (43%) HRSV, 116/312 (37%) adenoviruses, 57/312 (18%) HBoV, 36/325 (11%) rhinovirus, 14/312 (4.5%) Chlamydia spp., 8/326 (2.5%) HMPV, 4/325 (1.2%) human coronavirus NL63, and 2/323 (0.6%) influenza A virus. ./cache/cord-329263-o5e2go23.txt ./txt/cord-329263-o5e2go23.txt
