Investigations included an extensive etiological workup on nasopharyngeal aspirates. Immunofluorescence technique was used to detect the viral pathogens.[academicjournals.org]

Upper Respiratory Infection Prognosis (Outlook) Upper respiratory infections are a common occurrence and most people will get two to four colds per year.[emedicinehealth.com]
It is recommended that future surveys of the microbial etiology of pneumonia that employ a credible reference standard (such as lung aspiration) be used as opportunities to perform studies of diagnostic accuracy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
