Prospective evaluation of diagnostic tools for respiratory viruses in children and adults 2019-01-15 .txt text/plain 4155 199 48 METHODS: Two hundred ninety-nine respiratory samples were prospectively explored using multiplex molecular techniques (FilmArray Respiratory Panel, Clart Pneumovir), immunological techniques (direct fluorescent assay, lateral flow chromatography) and cell cultures. Meanwhile, important questions concerning these 'new' expensive rapid molecular techniques remain unanswered, such as their cost-effectiveness in terms of patient's management, or the clinical significance of detecting nucleic acids of micro-organisms that could be non-infectious at the time the sample is collected. The objective of this work was to compare the performances of antigen detection and cell cultures techniques routinely used since years for the diagnosis of respiratory viral infections in the setting of a tertiary care hospital to those of newer molecular techniques (Clart Pneumovir, Genomica, Coslada, Spain and FilmArray Respiratory Panel, Biofire, Biomérieux, Marcy L'Etoile, France). False negative results with molecular techniques were significantly more frequent in samples with codetections compared to those with only one pathogen: 12% vs 3% for the FilmArray test (p = 0.034) and 76% vs 11% for the Clart Pneumovir test (p < 0.001). ./cache/cord-278377-jgq3dz3u.txt ./txt/cord-278377-jgq3dz3u.txt
