Data on the epidemiology and disease burden of influenza-related disease in South-East Asia (SEA) are emerging, and this, in turn, is shedding more light on the epidemiology of other viral and bacterial aetiologies of influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) in hospitalised adults and children in this region. The detection of influenza viruses and respiratory pathogens other than influenza viruses in specimens that were sent for routine influenza testing can provide valuable insights into the epidemiology of ILI across all age groups in three SEA countries over the same time period. 21 In this 1-year study, we used molecular techniques to detect viruses and atypical bacteria from samples collected from patients hospitalised with ILI. ./cache/cord-297609-6g39lu1y.txt ./txt/cord-297609-6g39lu1y.txt
