Risk factors for hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a case-control study.

abstract：:We investigated risk factors for severe acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) among hospitalised children 8 months were at greater risk from influenza-associated ICU admissions and long hospital stay. Children with ADV had increased LOS across all ages. In the first 2 years of life, the effects of different viruse...
