Rhinovirus C and Respiratory Exacerbations in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract

To investigate a possible role for human rhinovirus C in respiratory exacerbations of children with cystic fibrosis, we conducted microbiologic testing on respiratory specimens from 103 such patients in Sao Paulo, Brazil, during 2006-2007. A significant association was found between the presence of human rhinovirus C and respiratory exacerbations.Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP)[05/01625-8
