Abstract

Detection of respiratory viruses by realtime multiplexed PCR (M-PCR) and of RSV by M-PCR and immunofluorescence(IF) was evaluated using specimens collected by
nasopharyngeal flocked swab(NFS) and nasal wash(NW). In children with mild respiratory
illness, NFS collection was superior to NW collection for detection of viruses by M-PCR
(sensitivity 89.6% vs 79.2%, P=0.0043). NFS collection was non-inferior to NW collection in
detecting RSV by IF.
