Abstract

Introduction: Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are a group of diseases with respiratory symptoms similar caused by bacteria or viruses that are acquired by direct contact or through the air.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of detected respiratory viruses by using the test CLART PneumoVir in Fundación Valle del Lili since June 2013 to December 2014.

Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted, in patients admitted to a general hospital between June 2013 to December 2014. Samples were analysed through multiplex RT- PCR and detection by microarrays. Descripitve statitics were used.

Results: Of 161 samples, 96 (60%) were positive. Isolation of viruses was higher in ICU patients (56%). 32 % of positive yields came from patients 60 years of age and older. The viruses most frequently detected were Rhinovirus (30%), Influenza (H1N1/2009) (12%) and Bocavirus (12%). Influenza A (H1N1/2009) was the most commonly isolated strain among Influenza viruses (12%), followed by 11% (17 cases) with viral coinfection. No seasonal pattern was identified. All patients received antibiotics.

Conclusion: The multiplex RT-PCR and detection by microarray are a tool useful, sensitive and faster for identification of virus circulation mayor in the world. Unlike what was reported in the scientific literature, this study mayor percentage of positive tests in adults was observed seasonality was observed and no para none evaluated the virus.
