    Snippet: Among the respiratory viruses, IFVs are some of the most important genera due to their epidemic and pandemic potential in terms of public health. IFVs can have different clinical manifestations, from mild upper respiratory tract infections to severe pneumonia resulting in death (21) . In this study, IFV-A was the most commonly detected agent, both in children over 5 years of age and in adults ( Table 2 ). In addition, the detection rates of IFV-A.....
    Document: Among the respiratory viruses, IFVs are some of the most important genera due to their epidemic and pandemic potential in terms of public health. IFVs can have different clinical manifestations, from mild upper respiratory tract infections to severe pneumonia resulting in death (21) . In this study, IFV-A was the most commonly detected agent, both in children over 5 years of age and in adults ( Table 2 ). In addition, the detection rates of IFV-A and IFV-B in adults were found to be significantly higher than in children. In contrast to our results, Javadi et al. (2) detected the most common agents as RV in the 0 -4-yearold age group and IFV-B in the 5 -50-year-old age group in Iran. In another study conducted in the United States, HBoV (in the 0 -4-year-old age group) and RV (in the 5 -50year-old age group) were found to be the most prevalent agents (22) . However, Ren et al. (10) and Liao et al. (23) found the most common agent in adults in China to be IFV-A, which was similar to our findings. These results support that the prevalence of respiratory viruses changes based on geographic region and age group.
