    Snippet: Before this study, routine clinical diagnostics for pneumonia etiology at both Sibu and Kapit Hospitals involved chiefly blood culture and Gram stains of endotracheal secretion, if intubated, to detect bacteria. Molecular and immunofluorescence laboratory diagnostics were only ordered for severe cases, for which clinicians had to send specimens to a specialized virology laboratory in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia or the University Centre in Kuching, Sar.....
    Document: Before this study, routine clinical diagnostics for pneumonia etiology at both Sibu and Kapit Hospitals involved chiefly blood culture and Gram stains of endotracheal secretion, if intubated, to detect bacteria. Molecular and immunofluorescence laboratory diagnostics were only ordered for severe cases, for which clinicians had to send specimens to a specialized virology laboratory in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia or the University Centre in Kuching, Sarawak. The overall objective of this study was to examine the viral etiology of and risk factors for pneumonia among patients admitted to Sibu and Kapit Hospitals between June 2017 and May 2018 and, in doing so, to assist Malaysian collaborators with setting up sustainable real-time molecular assays for viral respiratory pathogens.
