Molecular Characterization of Respiratory Viral Infections and Co-Infections in Pediatric Patients Using FilmArray™ Multiplex PCR in a Tertiary-Care Hospital, South IndiaBy A. Vivek Vishnu, Kavitha M.P, Dilip, Ezhilarasan
Abstract: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major cause of pediatric morbidity worldwide, with viruses, such as respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus/enterovirus, influenza virus, adenovirus, and parainfluenza virus, contribute significantly to hospitalizations. Conventional diagnostic methods often require prolonged processing times, which can delay clinical decision-making. Rapid molecular platforms, such as the FilmArray™ Panels, offer timely and comprehensive pathogen identification. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, seasonal trends, and co-infection patterns of …
