Article Synopsis
  • Acute respiratory infections significantly impact older adults and those with chronic diseases, primarily caused by viruses like respiratory syncytial virus and metapneumovirus.
  • A study aimed to diagnose circulating respiratory viruses in adults with acute respiratory symptoms lasting no more than 15 days, utilizing polymerase chain reaction methods.
  • Out of 72 patients tested, primarily from Mexico City, only 22 were found positive for viruses, with metapneumovirus being the most common, highlighting the need to monitor viral strains for public health responses.
