Does this study now preclude cohort nursing of babies with RSV?
A major finding was: "Infants with dual infections (RSV and hBoV) had a higher clinical severity score and more days of hospitalisation"
We put babies with RSV infection into a room together and can not be sure none of them are also infected with Bocavirus, so is there a danger that Bocavirus crossinfection will cause significant morbidity?...

In our hospital, and many others round the world, babies with RSV infection are nursed in a room together and are not tested for Bocavirus. Should this practice now stop to prevent Bocavirus crossinfection increasing morbidity?
