Description
Hang-Yu Zhao and colleagues map chest infections in Shenyang children after pandemic rules lifted. Nearly twenty-seven thousand children in hospital with acute lower respiratory infections were tested for twelve pathogens. Their 2026 study covers three years of stays at two hospitals in northeast China.
By gene testing, rhinovirus led, trailed by influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus. Antibody testing instead crowned Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which sat mostly in six to fourteen-year-olds. Infants carried the RSV burden, and several pathogens struck girls more often. Age, season, and sex each on its own shaped infection odds. Their atlas guides local testing and timing of preventive care.
