Abstract
Influenza C Virus Infection in Children, Spain
Highlights
A multiplex reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was used for direct detection of respiratory syncytial virus A (RSV-A), RSV-B, adenoviruses, and influenza A, B, and C viruses in all nasopharyngeal samples, as previously described [7]
Our results indicate that influenza C virus is present
In contrast to data for adults, in whom influenza C virus infection is associated with mild upper respiratory infections [5], our study showed that this infection in infants may be associated with illness severe enough to require hospitalization
Summary
To the Editor: Influenza viruses cause serious respiratory illness, in infants
