    Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes significant morbidity and mortality in neonates, leading to millions of hospitalizations annually.

  • 2

    Severe RSV infections are more prevalent in vulnerable populations, including neonates, premature infants, and those with underlying conditions.

  • 3

    Detection of respiratory pathogenic bacteria (PPB) in neonates with RSV is associated with increased disease severity and complications.

  • 4

    Neonates with both RSV and PPB showed higher rates of fever, feeding difficulties, and required more intensive medical interventions.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in clinical outcomes between RSV-positive neonates with and without PPB detection.
