The aim of this study was to compare the respiratory viruses detection by Luminex xTAG 1 RVP, rtRT-PCR, and IFA in adults presenting with CAP, in secretions obtained by two nasopharyngeal secretion samples, swabs, and aspirates. Although detection rate for each virus by rtRT-PCR and by Luminex 1 were similar in NPS (P > 0.2), 10 viruses were additionally positive by rtRT-PCR (eight RV, one AdV, and one PIV) and 15 by xTAG 1 RVP Fast (eleven RV-EV, two Flu A,one hMPV, and one PIV-4) ( Table SII) , totalizing 24 patients with discordant viral detection. In the adult CAP cases herein studied the overall respiratory viruses detection rate, by both the new Luminex xTAG 1 RVP Fast and the rtRT-PCR technique was similar (51.9% vs. ./cache/cord-320547-law20pmw.txt ./txt/cord-320547-law20pmw.txt
