Structured PICO

Population

101 children under 5 years of age, hospitalized with symptoms of acute lower respiratory infection, between May 2010 and December 2011, at the largest public pediatric hospital in the Central Department of Paraguay.

Intervention

Molecular characterization and phylogeny-based classification (real-time PCR, amplification of VP4/VP2 genomic region, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis)

Outcome

Detection and genotype diversity of human rhinovirus (HRV)

This study provides the first report on human rhinovirus genotype diversity in South America, identifying multiple genotypes across HRV-A, -B, and -C species in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory infections in Paraguay.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports expanded HRV genotyping surveillance in South America; leaves open prospective links to pediatric ALRI severity.
