Using lower inoculum dilutions than those normally applied for preparations containing influenza virus (total dilution of the original sample of ∼104), the positive results for the different viruses turned negative already after 2 or 3 passages in MDCK 33016PF cells. In a similar way, samples with positive and questionable multiplex PCR results only for viruses other than influenza virus were also cultivated for 2 or 3 passages in MDCK 33016PF cells. Considering the selection of specimens, the high percentage of influenza-positive results is not surprising, but a significant number of samples (66/370 or 17.8%) also tested positive for other viruses, such as adenovirus, bocavirus, coronavirus, enterovirus, metapneumovirus (HMPV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), rhinovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). ./cache/cord-316295-x636ux34.txt ./txt/cord-316295-x636ux34.txt
