Despite an increasing number of newly detected respiratory pathogen the human Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains the single most prevalent etiologic agent in pediatric viral respiratory tract infection [1, 2, 3] . In relation to the positive test results obtained with the NucliSENSH EasyQ NASBA, the relative sensitivity of the RT-PCR was 77,5% compared to 65% obtained with the NOWH RSV ELISA. The results showed that from the three tested methods for molecular diagnosis of RSV the NucliSENSH EasyQ NASBA (bioMerieux, Nürtingen, Germany) detected the most RSV positive samples in a cohort of 251 nasopharyngeal samples of pediatric patients hospitalized with respiratory disease.	./cache/cord-302189-3xab3yxc.txt	./txt/cord-302189-3xab3yxc.txt
