hMPV, human metapneumovirus ; PIV, parainfluenza virus; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.

^aOnly the multiple infections with associations found in more than one case are shown.

^bThere were two cases of multiple infections with four viruses detected in this group (upper respiratory specimens, <18 years, one case of picornavirus–adenovirus–PIV2–PIV3 co‐infection and one case of adenovirus–hMPV–PIV–influenza virus co‐infection).
