Over 5 years, we prospectively collected nasopharyngeal aspirate samples from pediatric outpatients with prolonged fever (≥5 days, ≥38.0°C). Real-time polymerase chain reaction assays identifying 13 different respiratory viruses and Mycoplasma p

Previously, we conducted a 3-year prospective study to determine the viral causes of acute respiratory tract infections among 495 febrile pediatric outpatients. We collected 495 nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens, and used both real-time PCR assays an

Background: Clinically, it is difficult to distinguish influenza infection from febrile infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, and human metapneumovirus without the use of rapid diagnostic tests. Methods: Nasopharyn

The sensitivity of rapid diagnostic kits to influenza B is lower than to influenza A. The cause-poor performance of the kit or the scarcity of viruses in type B specimens-has yet to be clarified. Using real-time PCR, we measured the amount of influen

In 2004, 3 new rapid influenza diagnostic kits using immunochromatography that allow type differentiation became commercially available. They are the ESPLINE Influenza A & B-N (Fujirebio Corp., Japan: ESPLINE-N hereafter), QuickVue Rapid SP influ (Qu

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) has been recently discovered as an etiological agent of acute respiratory infections. Our purpose was to asses the virological and clinical features of children with respiratory infections caused by hMPV. We examined 658

Nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) and throat swab (TS) specimens from individual patients were compared with regard to usefulness for adenovirus detection. In 153 adenovirus-infected patients, rapid test sensitivities with NPAs (90.8%) were nearly equiva

Background: For most febrile respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in children, the causative pathogen is never identified. We sought to identify the causative pathogen in individual cases of pediatric outpatient with RTIs and to determine whether part

To assess the usefulness of a new rapid chromatographic immunoassay test for the detection of adenovirus, a prospective 3-year study was conducted in 587 febrile outpatient children suspected of adenovirus infection. A total of 332 children were diag

We compared children and adults with regard to rapid influenza test sensitivity and viral load. Specimen volumes were measured, rapid tests were conducted, and viral load was determined. There was no difference between children and adults in test sen
