Background
Human rhinovirus (HRV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are common viral causes of pediatric respiratory tract infections. Bacterial co-infections frequently complicate HRV and hMPV illnesses in children, but the interactions between viral and bacterial pathogens and their impacts on disease severity are not well understood.
ObjectivesThe present research aimed to analyze and compare the clinical features of HRV and hMPV mono-infections in hospitalized children and to assess the impact of bacterial co-infection on the disease severity of HRV and hMPV infections.
MethodsThe present retrospective analytical cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the clinical features between HRV and hMPV mono-infections and HRV and hMPV with bacterial co-infections in hospitalized children aged 14 years or younger.
ResultsBetween January and December 2022, we investigated 1,978 children hospitalized with HRV infection, of which 1,529 had HRV mono-infection and 1,117 hospitalized with hMPV infection, among whom 910 had hMPV mono-infection. Compared to HRV, hMPVmono-infection exhibitedmorepronounced symptoms of fever, cough, and rales in most age groups, whileHRVshowedmore wheezing. Except in patients 6 years old, hMPV was more associated with pneumonia and longer hospitalizations. In contrast to HRV mono-infections, children with bacterial co-infections had a higher proportion of coughs (P < 0.001), pneumonia (P < 0.001), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions (P < 0.001), and longer hospitalizations (P = 0.003). Demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatments showed no significant differences between patients withhMPVmono-infection and co-infection.
ConclusionsAmong hospitalized children, hMPV mono-infection resulted in more severe respiratory illnesses compared to HRV mono-infection. Bacterial co-infections exacerbated disease severity in HRV infections.

Background
Bacterial and viral co-infections are increasingly recognized as the cause of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI). The role of co-infection in ARI patients with Parainfluenza Virus type 3 (PIV3) infection is unclear.
ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of PIV3 co-infections in hospitalized children and assess the co-infections’ role in ARI patients with PIV3 infections.
MethodsBetween January 2018 and December 2021, children were confirmed to have a PIV3 infection via throat swabs or nasopharyngeal aspirates. Some digital clinical data were analyzed, including demographic, epidemiological, diagnostic, and laboratory data.
ResultsDuring the study period from 2018 to 2021, 2,539 patients were hospitalized with ARI caused by PIV3. Of them, 34.0% had co-infection with other pathogens, and 2.4% had co-infection with more than two pathogens. Mycoplasma pneumoniae was the most common co-infecting pathogen (71.3%), followed by other bacteria (13.3%) and viruses (8.2%). A significantly higher proportion of patients with M. pneumoniae co-infection was found in girls (2 = 19.233, P < 0.001). Co-infections with M. pneumoniae were observed principally in patients aged 1 – 2 years (2 = 202.130, P < 0.001). In contrast, viral (56.3%) and bacterial (66.1%) co-infections occurred mainly in children younger than one year. The diagnosis of PIV3 as a single infection included pneumonia (41.2%), bronchitis (39.9%), upper respiratory tract infections (15.0%), and laryngitis (3.9%), which were distinguished from those with bacterial co-infections (2 = 16.424, P = 0.001) and co-infections with more than two pathogens (2 = 11.687, P = 0.010). Co-infections of PIV3 with any pathogen were not associated with admissions to intensive care units or ventilator support. However, the mean hospitalization was significantly higher in M. pneumoniae co-infections (t = 2.367, P = 0.018), bacterial co-infections (t = 2.402, P = 0.016), and co-infections with more than two pathogens (t = 2.827, P = 0.006) than in single PIV3 infection.
ConclusionsParainfluenza virus type 3 frequently occurs with other pathogens. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of co-infections with different pathogens differed. Mycoplasma pneumoniae co-infections, bacterial co-infections, and co-infections with more than two pathogens lengthened the hospitalization. Bacterial co-infections and co-infections with more than two pathogens increased the severity of ARI and worsened the symptoms.
