Human rhinovirus infections in rural Thailand: epidemiological evidence for rhinovirus as both pathogen and bystander

We describe human rhinovirus (HRV) detections in SaKaeo province, Thailand. From September 1, 2003-August 31, 2005, we tested hospitalized patients with acute lower respiratory illness and outpatient controls without fever or respiratory symptoms for HRVs with polymerase chain reaction and molecular...

Zusammenfassung:We describe human rhinovirus (HRV) detections in SaKaeo province, Thailand. From September 1, 2003-August 31, 2005, we tested hospitalized patients with acute lower respiratory illness and outpatient controls without fever or respiratory symptoms for HRVs with polymerase chain reaction and molecularly-typed select HRVs. We compared HRV detection among hospitalized patients and controls and estimated enrollment adjusted incidence. HRVs were detected in 315 (16%) of 1919 hospitalized patients and 27 (9.6%) of 280 controls. Children had the highest frequency of HRV detections (hospitalized:
