Virus infection in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring ventilation	2006-05-24		.txt	text/plain	4309	242	46	OBJECTIVES: We aimed to characterise and quantify the incidence of common infectious agents in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring ventilation, with a focus on respiratory viruses. Abstract Objectives: We aimed to characterise and quantify the incidence of common infectious agents in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring ventilation, with a focus on respiratory viruses. Of these, influenza types A and B (Inf A, B), parainfluenza types 1, 2 and 3 (Para 1, 2, 3), rhinovirus (RV), adenovirus (AV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), coronavirus (CoV) [11, 12] and, less commonly, human metapneumovirus (hMPV) [13] , and enterovirus (EV) [14, 15] have been shown to play significant roles in airway infections. A probable virus pathogen was found in 46 cases (43%) and a probable bacterial aetiology was found in 25 cases (23%) in this study of ventilated COPD exacerbation patients.	./cache/cord-344889-1y4ieamp.txt	./txt/cord-344889-1y4ieamp.txt
