چکیده
INDIAN PEDIATRICS 339 VOLUME 52__APRIL 15, 2015 Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute respiratory tract infection among children. It is documented that by age of three years, virtually all children are infected by RSV, and re-infection occurs throughout life [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global RSV burden as 64 million cases and about 160,000 deaths annually [2]. The clinical presentation of RSV and influenza is similar, but the antiviral treatment is different. This study aimed to detect the positivity for RSV in hospitalized children (≤2 years) suspected of influenza-A (H1N1) pdm 09 infection during the 2009 influenza pandemic.
