This study aimed to determine the association between initial ARI admission because of viruses including human rhinovirus (HRV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human adenovirus (HAdV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and the risk of ARI readmission in children.Methods: Clinical information and nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected from children<br />The Pediatric infectious disease journal, 37(12), pp.1217-1222; 2018
