Therefore, in this study, as a basic step for better understanding the role of respiratory viruses in the pathogenesis of AR, the detection rate of respiratory viruses in patients with perennial AR (PAR) without URI symptoms was compared with that in control patients, and the symptom severity of AR was evaluated according to the presence of respiratory viruses. In contrast, the detection rate of parainfluenza viruses (PIVs), which are the second most common type of respiratory virus, was not significantly different between patients with PAR and control patients (P ¼ .215). There was no significant difference in the allergic symptom score for the PAR groups according to the detection of respiratory viruses (P ¼ .290). In the present study, respiratory viruses were detected by multiplex PCR in 43.1% of patients with PAR, which was higher than in patients without allergy. ./cache/cord-350052-9431xqu1.txt ./txt/cord-350052-9431xqu1.txt
