Childhood nosocomial viral acute respiratory tract infections in teaching hospital Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

We have assessed the risk factors for the occurrence of hospital-acquired (HA) and community-acquired (CA) viral acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in children. Children (1-60 months) who were having ARTI on admission (CA) and develops ARTI following 48 h after admission or 3 days of dischar...

Description
Summary:We have assessed the risk factors for the occurrence of hospital-acquired (HA) and community-acquired (CA) viral acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in children. Children (1-60 months) who were having ARTI on admission (CA) and develops ARTI following 48 h after admission or 3 days of discharge (HA) were included. Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was performed and multivariable analyses were done to determine the risk factors for the development of viral CA and HA-ARTI. Total of 818 with ARTIs, 226 (27.6%) RSV cases were detected. Out of 226, 86 (38.0%) HA-RSV cases were detected. CA-viral-ARTI was significantly high (p
