[h=3]Abstract[/h] In primary care medicine, establishing a diagnosis of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections is usually based on clinical history and physical examination as well as a consideration of time of the year and circulating respiratory viruses in the community.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] We tested the potential clinical samples using the automated molecular assay which included rapid influenza diagnostic test, Rapid Immunochromatographic Antigen Test, Verigene Respiratory Virus Plus Nucleic Acid Test, BD Veritor[SUP]TM[/SUP] System for Rapid Detection of RSV in the paediatric setting for diagnosis of influenza and respiratory syntactical virus infections when testing was done by the paediatrician seeing the patient.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] Principally, with respect influenza virus specificity and sensitivity for RIAT were 100% and 68.8%; compared to 100% and 100%, respectively for RV[SUP]+[/SUP]. The specificity and sensitivity for 92.23% and 98% for BD Veritor[SUP]TM[/SUP] System for Rapid Detection of RSV as compared to 96.6% and 98.42% for RIDT.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] Therefore, this study confirms the clinical utility of RV[SUP]+[/SUP] in the pediatric setting.
