ABSTRACT

Objective. Determine the prevalence and distribution of acute respiratory viral infections in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology during the period from January 2013 to January 2014. Material and methods. A retrospective observational study was conducted using the database information system of the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology. A total of 228 patients were analyzed in search of respiratory viruses using the RV16 kit Seegene^®. Results. From 230 tests performed, 112 were positive (48.6%). The most prevalent viruses were rhinovirus (27.6%), influenza A (14.7 %), respiratory syncytial virus A (12.2%) and adenovirus (11.0%). Conclusions. The prevalence of respiratory viruses was 48.6%. Rhinovirus, besides being isolated more frequently, showed garment 15.3% of cases with other respiratory viruses. 86.6% were hospitalized patients, the majority being men and older than 18 years.
