Article Synopsis
- Highly sensitive real-time PCR has identified multiple pathogens in patients with acute respiratory infections (ARIs), but detection does not confirm they cause disease.
- A study in Northeastern Laos involved 205 hospitalized ARI patients and matched controls, testing for 33 pathogens with a focus on identifying disease causes in ARIs.
- Results showed that common pathogens like influenza B and A viruses, human metapneumovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus were linked to ARIs, while SARS-CoV-2 was not found in any participants.
