The simultaneous use of different diagnostic tools allowed us to identify a putative viral etiology in half the children examined and to provide an estimate of the epidemiology and seasonality of respiratory viruses associated with ARTIs. Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) are a persistent public health problem (Lu et al., 2013) . This three-year (October 2012-September 2015) hospital-based survey in Parma (Northern Italy) aimed to determine the prevalence of respiratory virus infections, their seasonality, and any patterns of mixed infections in children with ARTIs by using indirect immunofluorescent staining of respiratory samples for viral antigens, cell culture, and molecular assays. ./cache/cord-299379-ch7a39d6.txt ./txt/cord-299379-ch7a39d6.txt
