About This Trial

This is a multicenter, randomized, positive-controlled, non-inferiority clinical study, planning to enroll 90 children with bronchiolitis caused by respiratory syncytial virus infection, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled Peginterferon α-2b injection compared to recombinant human interferon α2b in the treatment of pediatric respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.
