LOINC description : Determining the etiology of respiratory symptoms remains a clinical and laboratory
challenge. Infections with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza viruses (IVs),
and adenoviruses (AdVs) are traditionally diagnosed using viral culture and direct
immunofluorescence (DIF) tests, however real-time PCR studies considerably increase
diagnostic yields for respiratory viruses from patients with respiratory symptoms
within a clinically relevant time frame, allowing clinicians to start optimal patient
management, and to initiate adequate use of antiviral therapy and optimal infection
control. [PMCID: PMC1932984];
