Document: Fever and/or cough were the most common presenting symptoms often leading to initiation of antibacterial therapy. Approximately half of the pediatric cases were under 1 year of age, and these patients appear to be at greater risk of acquiring such infections [6] . Twelve percent of cases were associated with ICU admission, and 15% required intubation a mean of 1.8 days after symptom onset. One fatal case involved a nosocomial RSV infection, and another involved nosocomial metapneumovirus infection; however, both cases were associated with deterioration requiring intubation and ECMO. Autopsy data have confirmed that nosocomial respiratory viral infections can cause or contribute to mortality [7] .
