One study of respiratory samples collected from children living in Kuala Lumpur under 5 years of age between 1982 and 2008 found that 26.4% of the samples were positive by immunofluorescence assays and viral cultures for viral pathogens, with a prevalence of 18.6% for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), 3.5% for parainfluenza viruses (PIVs), 2.9% for influenza viruses, and 1.37% for adenovirus [10] . The overall objective of this study was to examine the viral etiology of and risk factors for pneumonia among patients admitted to Sibu and Kapit Hospitals between June 2017 and May 2018 and, in doing so, to assist Malaysian collaborators with setting up sustainable real-time molecular assays for viral respiratory pathogens. ./cache/cord-296890-08kqtw8s.txt ./txt/cord-296890-08kqtw8s.txt
