Although well over 200 viral agents have been implicated in acute respiratory infections (ARIs) among children, no system able to detect such a wide range of viruses has been established. Between January 2004 and December 2005, a modified microplate method, including HEF, HEp-2, Vero E6, MDCK, RD-18S, and GMK cell lines (HHVe6MRG plate), was adopted to isolate viruses. A total of 1,551 viruses were isolated, representing both outbreaks and sporadic cases, from 4,107 nasopharyngeal specimens, at… CONTINUE READING
