Detection of respiratory coinfections in pediatric patients using a small volume polymerase chain reaction array respiratory panel: More evidence for combined droplet and contact isolation 2013-03-16 .txt text/plain 4255 227 46 CONCLUSION: SVPCR array RP testing detected respiratory pathogens in pediatric patients with URI at rates higher than that of RAT and viral culture. The study hypothesis is that the use of combined isolation precautions should be continued, even after the H1N1 pandemic, in pediatric patients with URI symptoms based on the detection of pathogen coinfections by use of a small volume polymerase chain reaction (SVPCR) array respiratory panel (RP) that requires both droplet and contact isolation precautions. From January through April and again from September through December 2010 (no samples were collected May-August), pediatric patients (up to age 20 years) presenting to the emergency department (ED) at CHM, a tertiary pediatric medical center in Detroit, Michigan, were offered participation in the study if the treating clinician had ordered any testing for viral respiratory pathogens. ./cache/cord-253240-rtv136j7.txt ./txt/cord-253240-rtv136j7.txt
