Abstract
|
|
|
|
Human rhinoviruses (HRV) mostly cause mild and self-limiting upper respiratory tract infections. We report 2 infants with acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, 1 of whom deteriorated to death. The causal pathogen was HRV group A confirmed by multiplex-PCR. In Korea, this is the first report of severe respiratory failure caused by HRV group A during the same season.
