Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are among the commonest viral causes of severe ALRTI. Aim: To study the burden of both RSV and hMPV in causing severe ALRI in children less than 2years admitted to PICU at a tertiary care hospital. Setting and Design: Five months prospective observational study in a pediatric hospital of Cairo University. Material and Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from children admitted into PICU with diagnosis of community-acquired ALRI who were aged 0-2 years.
