Abstract:
In recent years,the incidence and mortality rate of pediatric respiratory infection have been increasing globally,with rhinovirus being of particular correlation to pediatric respiratory infection.In addition to upper respiratory tract infection,rhinovirus RNA is also found in the lower respiratory tract during the infection period.The epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract are the target cells of rhinovirus.In recent years,studies done on the relationship between rhinovirus infection and upper respiratory tract infection have provided evidence for clinical treatment.Further investigation is needed on the pathological mechanisms of rhinovirus-induced respiratory infections.
