Abstract EN
This study was aimed to investigate the co-infection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV) with Influenza viral infection A and B.
Two hundred clinical samples of nasopharyngeal and throat swabs were collected between first of January until the end of March of 2014 from Iraqi patients of different ages and from both males and females hospitalized with influenza like illness.
The samples were subjected to RTqPCR for Flu virus infections A and B.
22 positive samples for flu A and 22 positive samples for flu B were subjected to RT-PCR test for hRSV infection detection.
The results showed that 7 out of 22 (31%) positive samples for flu B were positive for hRSV infection while 2 out of 22 (9%) positive samples for flu A were positive for hRSV viral infection.
The results reveal that there is co-infection of respiratory viruses, flu A or flu B with hRSV in hospitalized patient suffering from respiratory distress.
