Population

Children with acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in Yamagata, Japan (4,107 nasopharyngeal specimens)

Intervention

Modified microplate method using multiple cell lines (HEF, HEp-2, Vero E6, MDCK, RD-18S, and GMK)

Outcome

Isolation of respiratory viruses

A modified microplate method using multiple cell lines successfully isolated a wide range of respiratory viruses from children with ARIs across all seasons.
