To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive viral etiology study of hospitalized pediatric patients with bronchiolitis, including newly identified respiratory viruses, in Taiwan. Results from the present study showed that RSV, hMPV, and hBoV were the most common viral pathogens for acute lower respiratory tract infection among hospitalized children, less than 2 years of age, in northern Taiwan.We demonstrated again that RSV remained the major pathogen in infants with bronchiolitis. In the present study, clinical characteristics of children with bronchiolitis due to different viral etiologies seemed similar, regardless of whether the infection was caused by single or multiple viruses. In our study, we also observed no statistical significance in clinical characteristics between children with bronchiolitis caused by different single viral infection. ./cache/cord-265774-oci77t99.txt ./txt/cord-265774-oci77t99.txt
