    Snippet: We found that RSV viral load correlates with the presence of clinical symptoms in patients �5 years of age, whereas influenza viral load is associated with presence of clinical symptoms, irrespective of age. Patients receiving antiviral agents had a significant reduction in viral loads of both influenza virus and RSV after completion of therapy. Digital PCR offers an effective method to monitor the efficacy of antiviral treatment for respirator.....
    Document: We found that RSV viral load correlates with the presence of clinical symptoms in patients �5 years of age, whereas influenza viral load is associated with presence of clinical symptoms, irrespective of age. Patients receiving antiviral agents had a significant reduction in viral loads of both influenza virus and RSV after completion of therapy. Digital PCR offers an effective method to monitor the efficacy of antiviral treatment for respiratory tract infections in immunocompromised hosts with the potential to aid in decisions regarding therapy and isolation. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to explore the potential benefits of dPCR-based methods for risk stratification and their impact on patient management.
