The main fi nding of this large-scale clinical study was the co-detection of multiple pathogens with the pandemic infl uenza virus strain. Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus and multiple other pathogens are often detected during autopsy (1,2), indicating that co-infection may play a major role in the disease process. Our fi ndings suggest that multiplex screening for respiratory pathogens is useful for providing rapid surveillance information to inform physicians who would otherwise base decisions on clinical signs and symptoms alone. Electronic reporting of empirical laboratory respiratory pathogen detection provided by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-approved laboratory can greatly enhance surveillance data collection (10) .
