Overview

May guide RSV-focused testing in pediatric ARIs; leaves open longitudinal studies on outcomes and interventions.

Structured PICO

What is the prevalence of Flu-A, RSV, and hMPV in children with acute respiratory infections in Southern Iran?

P
Population
156 children with acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in Southern Iran
I
Intervention
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and conventional PCR for viral detection
O
Outcome
Prevalence of influenza A virus (Flu-A), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV)

High detection rates of respiratory viruses in children with ARIs in Southern Iran highlight the utility of real-time PCR.
