Respiratory Microbial Codetection and Clinical Profiles of Infants Living With HIV Hospitalized With Severe Pneumonia in Malawi

Abstract

Among the Malawian infants living with HIV and hospitalized with severe pneumonia, bacteria (87%), viruses (85%) and fungi (40%) were detected in the respiratory tract. All infants had polymicrobial codetection, and differences in respiratory microbial codetection groups were significantly associated with age and HIV viral load.
