- Initially considered incidental, the initiation of antiviral therapy coincided with the child’s clinical improvement, suggesting HHV-6 may have played a more significant role in her condition than previously thought.
Aspiration detected in the fiberoptic endoscopy evaluation of swallowing (FEES) has been inconsistently associated with pneumonia, with no evidence of the risk of pneumonia from other alterations in swallowing safety detected in FEES.

Our aim was to determine the risk of pneumonia attributed to alterations in swallowing safety detected during FEES.
