Comparative Study
Clinical and molecular characterization of rhinoviruses A, B, and C in adult patients with pneumonia.
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) have increasingly been reported to be associated with lower respiratory tract infections. HRV-C has been associated with more severe respiratory illnesses in children. ⋯ In contrast to previous pediatric studies, no differences were observed in clinical severity or outcomes between the different HRV species in adult patients with pneumonia.
