Diagnosis of influenza from lower respiratory tract sampling after negative upper respiratory tract sampling VIRULENCE Bogoch, I. I., Andrews, J. R., Zachary, K. C., Hohmann, E. L. 2013; 4 (1): 82-84
Abstract
In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrate that PCR-confirmed diagnoses of influenza were made solely by lower respiratory sampling in 6.9% of cases, as traditional upper respiratory tract tests were negative, indeterminate or not performed. Clinical features of these cases are presented. Clinicians should consider lower respiratory tract sampling in select cases of influenza-like illness for diagnosis.
