    Snippet: With respect to parainfluenza viruses, types 1 to 4 have been associated with bronchiolitis, croup and pneumonia in children, but also in elderly and immunocompromised patients. PCR is an adequate technique for the detection of parainfluenza virus, above all in immunocompromised patients [74] . PCR has a sensitivity of 100% and specificity that range 95-98% if compared with culture method [75] . Multiplex PCR assays can differentiate between a wi.....
    Document: With respect to parainfluenza viruses, types 1 to 4 have been associated with bronchiolitis, croup and pneumonia in children, but also in elderly and immunocompromised patients. PCR is an adequate technique for the detection of parainfluenza virus, above all in immunocompromised patients [74] . PCR has a sensitivity of 100% and specificity that range 95-98% if compared with culture method [75] . Multiplex PCR assays can differentiate between a wide variety of respiratory pathogens [75] . Also, a rapid and sensitive multiplex real-time PCR assay for detection of four serotypes of parainfluenza viruses has been developed [76] .
