Excerpt

The detection of respiratory viruses in many prospective clinical studies has relied upon detection with standard laboratory assays, such as antigen detection, viral culture, or serology. Data describing the relative importance of community-acquired respiratory viruses, such as rhinovirus, human metapneumovirus (HMPV) [1], and newly described human coronavirus (HCV) subtypes [2], which are not detectable by these standard assays, in healthy young children who are not admitted to the hospital is limited. …
