Six days later, the neighbouring team member in the aeroplane developed symptomatic respiratory syncytial virus A -infection. One subject developed nasal congestion during the 9-hour flight, later detected to be a respiratory syncytial virus B infection. First, 45% of the elite athletes and 32% of the staff members suffered from the symptoms of the common cold during the median stay of 3 weeks at the Winter Olympic Games. Our study is the first to detect the aetiology of respiratory infections in elite athletes using molecular POCT at a major event. ./cache/cord-323195-buzcb8ya.txt ./txt/cord-323195-buzcb8ya.txt
