- The study focuses on respiratory viral infections in children, emphasizing the role of rapid molecular technology for detecting various pathogens to help diagnose severe acute respiratory infections (SARI).
- Conducted from March 2020 to December 2021, the research included children admitted to the ICU and revealed that out of 446 diagnosed cases, 160 experienced co-infections with multiple viruses, highlighting key co-infection pairs.
- The data showed significant differences in coinfection trends between 2020 and 2021, and it was noted that oxygen therapy’s duration was notably affected in cases with specific coinfections, with two fatalities occurring in patients with hRV/SARS-CoV-2.
