    Snippet: In investigating the cause of ARTI in low-income countries, most studies are done in hospital setting and case-control methods are rarely used. Nevertheless, in these studies, similar pathogens were found with similar significant associations with illness compared with our study.

    Document: In investigating the cause of ARTI in low-income countries, most studies are done in hospital setting and case-control methods are rarely used. Nevertheless, in these studies, similar pathogens were found with similar significant associations with illness compared with our study. [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] 42, 43 This could mean that the same pathogens are responsible for both upper and lower ARTIs. Furthermore, it confirms a generally shifting pattern towards viruses of pathogens causing ARTIs. Some pathogens were more prevalent in other settings, such as human metapneumovirus, PIV, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. 19, 22, 24, 42, 43 Low prevalence of these pathogens was found in our study, possibly due to seasonality or their possible higher prevalence in severe infections.
