We also found that rhinorrhea was more frequently present in patients with multiple viruses than in those with a single virus, and some viruses were more (or less) likely to exist in certain age groups or were accompanied with certain symptoms.
In addition, the interpretation of a viral detection is complicated by the fact that infections with multiple viruses are common in children with ARI and many viruses are frequently found in asymptomatic children [ 7].
RSV was detected in seven of the eight children infected with multiple viruses, including all three patients infected with a coronavirus.
Patients with multiple viruses were more likely to have rhinorrhea than those with single virus (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.9, p < 0.05, Table 1).
No statistical differences were found between children with a single and multiple virus infection with respect to age, sex, gestational age, underlying disease, length of PICU stay, mechanical ventilation and the presence of bacterial infection.
Over two sampling years, 75% (58/78) of the egg samples were infected with at least one virus whereof 32% (25/78) of the samples were infected with a single virus and 42% (33/78) were infected with multiple viruses.
"Although that finding has yet to be confirmed, it raised the possibility that infections with multiple viruses in MMR vaccine might increase the risk of Crohn's disease.
But it's still possible that a paramyxovirus is involved, he says; SARS might even be triggered by an infection with multiple viruses.
In spite of the rapid developments in various nanosensor technologies, it still remains challenging to realize a reliable ultrasensitive electrical biosensing platform which will be able to detect multiple viruses in blood simultaneously with a fairly high reproducibility without using secondary labels.
