    Snippet: We found respiratory viruses in 11% of our study population. Corresponding numbers reported by other authors range from 10 to 43% [12, 20] , depending on which viruses were included in the PCR analysis. We chose to include only microbial agents responsible for significant illness, thus, excluding frequently occurring causes of upper respiratory tract infections, such as rhinovirus and coronavirus. The number of patients diagnosed with influenza A.....
    Document: We found respiratory viruses in 11% of our study population. Corresponding numbers reported by other authors range from 10 to 43% [12, 20] , depending on which viruses were included in the PCR analysis. We chose to include only microbial agents responsible for significant illness, thus, excluding frequently occurring causes of upper respiratory tract infections, such as rhinovirus and coronavirus. The number of patients diagnosed with influenza A and RSV infections were lower in our study than those reported by others, probably due to annual variations. We did not find any respiratory viruses in non-symptomatic patients. During the two periods when all patients regardless of symptoms were swabbed, respiratory viruses were found in 8.6% (6 patients) of the total study population.
