Podcast 877: Viral Respiratory Infections in Children

Contributor: Jared Scott MD

Educational Pearls

  • A recently published study assessed the burden of respiratory viruses in a longitudinal cohort of children from 0 to 2 years of age

  • The children in the study received nasal swab PCR testing weekly to determine infectivity

  • They were also monitored for symptoms via weekly text surveys

    • The study differentiated between infection and illness by defining an acute respiratory illness (ARI) as fever ≥38°C or cough.

  • The median infectivity rate was 9.4 viral infections per child per year

    • The median illness rate was 3.3 ARIs per child per year

  • The most common etiological viruses isolated from the nasal samples were rhinovirus and enterovirus

    • Most infections were asymptomatic or mild
