To determine the prevalence of Simkania negevensis in causing pulmonary infections in children, nasopharyngeal washes were obtained from 22 infants hospitalized with acute bronchiolitis in the Baffin Island, Canada. 14 (63.6%) were positive for S. negevensis. Mixed infections with other respiratory viruses were common. All patients recovered without specific antibiotic treatment. Even though a high prevalence of S. negevensis was found, this organism may potentially well be an opportunistic agent rather than a true pathogen.
