• Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children less than 5 years of age in developing countries is usually considered a bacterial infection and is a common cause of death. Limited information is available on the impact of respiratory viruses as a cause of pneumonia in a developing country. METHODS: A nasopharyngeal aspirate for viral studies, acute blood buffy-coat for pneumococcal DNA search, blood culture, as well as acute and convalescent serum samples for viral and bacterial serology were collected from 184 children less than five years of age with acute respiratory infection symptoms, pulmonary infiltrates on the first chest radiograph, and resolution of these conditions within 4 weeks of follow-up in Salvador, North-east Brazil. Laboratory investigations for 16 microbes were carried out. RESULTS: Evidence of a potential etiologic agent was obtained in 144 (78%) cases. Viral, bacterial, and mixed infections were found in 110 (60%), 77 (42%), and 52 (28%) patients, respectively. Mixed viral-viral (8, 4%), bacterialbacterial (1, 0.5%), and viral-bacterial (43, 23%) infections were identified, and up to four concomitant microbial infections were detected. Rhinovirus (38, 21%) was the most common viral pathogen and Streptococcus pneumoniae (39, 21%) was the most common bacterial pathogen. CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory viral infections were commonly found associated with community-acquired pneumonia. One quarter and one fifth of the cases were mixed viral-bacterial and pneumococcal infections, respectively. These findings indicate the need for more prospective studies on the occurrence of respiratory viral infections in developing countries.
