| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to detect multiple respiratory viruses in young children with acute respiratory tract infections, and to analyze the combination of the co-detected viruses by statistical analysis. Of the tested 1,044 specimens (< 6 years of age), 891 were virus-positives. Viral co-detection was observed in 43.5% of virus-positive specimens. Moreover, the proportion of viral co-detection was higher in the age of < 3 years than other age groups. Statistical analysis showed that some combinations of co-detected viruses were positively or negatively correlated.
