Forty healthy age-matched asymptomatic children with no history of a recent respiratory tract infection during the previous 2 weeks, who were not admitted to the hospital, and who do not have any chronic underlying illness were included as a control group. This study confirms the high rate of detection of viral nucleic acids by multiplex PCR) among hospitalized children admitted with severe acute respiratory infection, as well as the high rate of detection of multiple viruses. ./cache/cord-321284-0y69n1ea.txt ./txt/cord-321284-0y69n1ea.txt
