114 Results Overall, RVs were detected in 110 (61%) of the patients. In BAL fluid RVs were detected in 74 (41%) samples; 36 (20%) children had RVs detected in NPAs only. Only 5 (6%) patients with positive BAL fluid RV results had negative NPA RV results. Rhinovirus was the most frequently detected RV (43%), followed by multiple RVs (38%), with a similar distribution in BAL fluid and NPAs, as shown in Table 2. No patients with negative RV results had signs of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) during hospitalization. TABLE 1. Demographics and baseline characteristics.
