This PubMed entry documents a multicenter Latin American cohort study titled "Adenovirus Versus Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Children With Severe Viral Acute Respiratory Failure." The work addresses severe viral acute respiratory failure in pediatric patients and compares infections caused by Adenovirus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The article was authored by investigators affiliated with the Red Colaborativa Pediátrica de Latinoamérica (LARed Network) and multiple pediatric intensive care and academic centers across Latin America.
The bibliographic metadata indicate the study was accepted for online publication ahead of print in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal on 2026 Aug 26 (DOI: 10.1097/INF.0000000000005382; PMID: 42642800). The PubMed record lists numerous individual authors and institutional affiliations spanning Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and other regional sites, reflecting a collaborative, multicenter effort.
The PubMed page lists detailed author names and institutional affiliations. Contributors are drawn from departments of pediatrics and pediatric intensive care units and include members of the LARed Network. Affiliations explicitly named in the record include universities and pediatric intensive care units in Bogotá, Medellín, Salta, Montevideo, Santiago and additional centers throughout Latin America.
This distributed authorship and the association with LARed imply a multicenter cohort design conducted across several Latin American pediatric critical care units; however, the PubMed excerpt does not include a trial registry, sample size, enrollment period, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or site-by-site case counts.
The PubMed record provides the following verifiable bibliographic information:
These identifiers confirm provenance and allow retrieval of the full article through journal platforms, DOI resolution, or PubMed.
The PubMed excerpt provided for this rewrite does not include the article abstract or the methods section. Specifically, the following methodological details were not reported in the source text supplied here and therefore cannot be summarized:
Because these items are absent from the provided PubMed excerpt, they are omitted from this summary rather than inferred.
The provided PubMed content does not include the abstract or results section; therefore, no numeric results, comparative outcome measures, measures of association, p values, confidence intervals, subgroup analyses, or adverse-event data are available in the source excerpt. Any statement about which virus was associated with higher severity, mortality, or resource utilization would require access to the full text.
The PubMed entry does not contain the authors' conclusions or discussion points. As such, no conclusions about clinical implications, recommended management changes, or public health significance can be responsibly reported from the material given here.
This rewrite is constrained to content present in the PubMed record excerpt. Key limitations of the source material provided:
These limitations are explicitly noted to avoid inference or fabrication of study findings.
For clinicians or researchers seeking the complete study details (methods, results, tables, figures, and authors' conclusions), retrieve the full text via one of these routes:
This PubMed record confirms a multicenter Latin American cohort study focused on pediatric severe viral acute respiratory failure comparing Adenovirus and RSV. However, to inform clinical practice or guideline updates, clinicians should review the full published article to evaluate patient selection, diagnostic approaches, outcomes measured, statistical rigor, and the authors' interpretations, since those elements were not included in the PubMed excerpt used as the sole source for this rewrite.
