cord-296847-r752bcsu	Campanini, Giulia	Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) RNA quantification in nasopharyngeal secretions identifies the hRSV etiologic role in acute respiratory tract infections of hospitalized infants	2007-04-23		.txt	text/plain	3045	163	55	In the present study, we quantified the hRSV RNA load (both subgroups A and B) in NPAs from hRSV-infected infants by quantitative RT-PCR to investigate the possibility of defining the etiologic role of hRSV in the current ARTI episode from a series of infants admitted to the hospital either with a single hRSV infection or with two or three simultaneous or sequential viral infections including hRSV. NPAs from a series of 253 infants aged less than 1 year and admitted to the hospital in the period November 2005-May 2006 with a diagnosis of ARTI were examined for hRSV as well as other respiratory viruses by DFA, CC, and qualitative RT-PCR, as reported (Rovida et al., 2005) . In addition, 14 infants with multiple simultaneous (coinfections) or sequential (within 30 days) infections in the respiratory tract (including hRSV) were examined prospectively in order to identify the virus responsible for the current ARTI episode.	./cache/cord-296847-r752bcsu.txt	./txt/cord-296847-r752bcsu.txt
