Specific Viruses Detected in Nigerian Children in Association with Acute Respiratory Disease 2011-10-11 .txt text/plain 2499 126 48 Adenoviruses, coronaviruses, human enteroviruses (HEV), human rhinoviruses (HRV), influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses (PIV), and respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) are well-known causes of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI) in both industrialized and developing countries. Moreover, different viruses, including influenza viruses and RSV, are also frequently detected in samples obtained from patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), either alone or together with pathogenic bacteria. While the overall proportion of virus-positive specimens was similar in children aged under or over two years, as well as in the group with unrecorded age, all adenovirus, influenza virus A, RSV, and all but one HBoV and "true HEV" detections were in the youngest age group (Table 1) . This study revealed that all major respiratory virus groups tested for can be detected in Nigerian children with respiratory tract infection. Rhinoviruses and parainfluenza viruses were the most prevalent virus groups while influenza A and B viruses, as well RSV were rarely detected, possibly due to low season of these viruses during the time of sample collection. ./cache/cord-280391-5kiu2pb6.txt ./txt/cord-280391-5kiu2pb6.txt
