Background: Respiratory virus infections represent a major public
health problem because of their worldwide occurrence, ease of spread in the
community and considerable morbidity and mortality. They are one of the most
common reasons for hospitalization of children under the age of six. In some
cases, infection with two different viruses increase the severity of disease
which lead to the hospitalization.
Case presentation: Among 202 samples related to children under the age of six
with respiratory infections, two dual infections of Adenovirus with other
respiratory viruses with PCR test were
detected.
Conclusion: Mixed respiratory viral infections are sometimes
associated with severe disease and recognition of coinfection is important. Dual infections of Adenovirus with respiratory syncytial
virus (RSV) and
Swine origin influenza A (H1N1) virus
were demonstrated. The evidence showed that the co-infection of Adenovirus with
swine origin influenza A (H1N1), has
increased the severity of disease which lead to the hospitalization.
