Abstract

Objective: To describe some clinical, subclinical characteristics and some relative factors of pneumonia with rhinovirus infection in children. Subject and method: A cross-sectional study collected 300 pneumonia patients with age from 1 month to 5 years old were treated in the National Children’s Hospital from October 2018 to September 2019 who were confirmed rhinovirus by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Result: The main clinical symptoms were cough, wheezing and fever. The rate of severe pneumonia manifested as high respiratory depression 61.4%. White blood cells, CRP usually does not increase in over 50%. X-ray image: The main lung lesions were images of interstitial lung lesions (27.6%), blurred nodules (51%) and cloudiness (21.4%). Factor related to pneumonia with rhinovirus infection: Children with a history of preterm birth (OR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1,090 - 4,724, p<0.05). Conclusion: Rhinovirus-infected pneumonia has serious clinical manifestations mainly of cough, fever, wheezing and respiratory failure. History of preterm birth is associated with the frequency of rhinovirus-infected pneumonia in children.
