Abstract
Infants and young children with rotavirus (RV) or visualized adenovirus in their stools were tested for the simultaneous presence of a respiratory viral pathogen in their upper respiratory tract. Overall, at least 10.7% of 484 study subjects had such dual infections, including 8.3% of 385 RV-positive gastroenteritis patients and 24.3% of 37 RV-positive respiratory disease patients. Respiratory syncytial virus was present in 34.1% of 41 dual infections with RV and at least 40% of the 12 to 15 dual infections with visualized fecal adenovirus. Other pathogens found in the respiratory tract of patients with RV or visualized fecal adenovirus infections included influenza viruses, adenoviruses, parainfluenza viruses, rhinoviruses, and a cytomegalovirus.
