The table shows the distribution of the positive respiratory pathogens in 348 HFMD patients. In total, eight types of RV and MP were detected positive. And totally 57 positive cases were found, and 4 cases were coinfected with multiple pathogens. The positive rate of CAP in the mild group is much higher than in the severe group.
