Simultaneous detection of respiratory viruses using multiplex PCR method in patients with upper and lower respiratory tract infection

Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the respiratory viruses in a short time by multiplex PCR method in patients with upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Materials and Methods: In this report, between January 2007 and August 2013, a total of 1708 patients (1220 children, 488 adult; 45,1% female, 54.9% male, age range: 5 days-94 years) prediagnosed as having upper or lower respiratory tract infections were enrolled in the study. Respiratory viruses were investigated by multiplex PCR method in respiratory samples of these patients. Results: In a total of 1708 patients, 620 (36.3%) of them were positive for one or more respiratory viruses and 1088 (63.7%) were negative. In 63 of the patients (3.7%) multiple viruses were detected. Most of the samples (89.5%) containing multiple agents were detected in children. Respiratory specimens were obtained from 387 (22.7%) outpatients and 1321 (77.3%) inpatients. One or more respiratory viruses were detected in 39.2% of pediatric patients, 29.1% of adult patients (p
