| Popis: | In order to evaluate the association of influenza viruses with hospitalizations for acute respiratory infection in infants younger than two years old during epidemics of respiratory syncytial virus infection, we studied 512 nasal washes from this population. The samples were obtained from 1997 to 2000. A total of 337 viruses were isolated: 264 respiratory syncytial viruses, 62 influenza viruses, eight parainfluenza viruses, two adenovirus and one rhinovirus. Hospitalizations for acute respiratory infection were owing to influenza and respiratory syncytial viruses in 18.3% vs. 78.3% of all cases, and 32.5% vs. 65.8%, respectively, in the group of infants between 6 months and 2 years old. |
