Background: The pathogenic distribution of co-infections and immunological status of patients infected with human adenovirus serotypes 3 or 7 (HAdV-3 or HAdV-7) were poorly understood.
Methods: This study involved a retrospective analysis of respiratory specimens collected from enrolled children with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), positive for HAdV-3 or HAdV-7 from January 2017 to December 2019. Demographic data, clinical features, laboratory and radiographic findings were compared to delineate the impact of co-infections, and immune responses on clinical severity of HAdV-3 or HAdV-7 infections.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children and can lead to severe complications, including respiratory failure. A retrospective analysis of 2084 children diagnosed with CAP and treated in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 was conducted. A comprehensive dataset of patient demographics, clinical symptoms, and laboratory findings was initially assembled.
