In bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)-HRV-RNA-positive patients with available transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) or transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) specimens, immunofluorescence (IF) staining was used to assess infection of LRT cells. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed demographics, comorbidities, and symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HRV was detected in 4.6% (437\/9544) of patients, with bimodal seasonal peaks (February\u2013April and September\u2013November). Co-infection occurred in 49.0% (214\/437), predominantly bacteria (34.1%) and viruses (25.7%). Among the 437 HRV-positive patients, 224 cases complicated with pneumonia, but only 34 (7.8%) met the diagnostic criteria for simple viral pneumonia. Multivariate analysis identified male (OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.04\u20136.99, P = .042), fever (OR 3.79, 95% CI 1.52\u20139.44, P = .004), and cough (OR 7.33, 95% CI 1.64\u201332.83, P = .009) as independent predictors of simple rhinovirus pneumonia. IF staining confirmed HRV VP3 protein in TBLB\/TBCB specimens in 61.5% (8\/13) of cases, resolving debates about HRV's LRT cells tropism.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides the first histological evidence of HRV's LRT cells infection in immunocompetent adults.
