Influence of age, severity of infection, and co-infection on the duration of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) shedding	2014-06-05		.txt	text/plain	3881	185	49	The shedding durations were longer than previous estimates (3·9–7·4 days) based on immunofluorescence antigen detection or viral culture, and were shown to be strongly associated with age, severity of infection, and revealed potential interaction with other respiratory viruses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major viral cause of lower respiratory tract infection in children worldwide [1] with the key risk group being young infants [2] . The rate of RSV recovery was lower (i.e. shedding duration increased) by 65% in episodes with co-infection compared to those without (aHR 0·35, 95% CI 0·23-0·51), with a similar result for each virus individually. A community study nested within a birth cohort in coastal Kenya targeting symptomatic RSV infections by Okiro and colleagues reported a mean duration of shedding of 4·5 days [12] .	./cache/cord-349298-8s69wprh.txt	./txt/cord-349298-8s69wprh.txt
