RV species may link to distinct phenotypes in severe pediatric pneumonia; leaves open causal and prognostic implications.
Are different rhinovirus species (RV-A vs RV-C) associated with distinct clinical features in children hospitalized with severe pneumonia?
In children hospitalized with severe pneumonia, RV-C is predominantly associated with wheezing and cyanosis, whereas RV-A is more frequently associated with a discharge diagnosis of pneumonia.
