Nasopharyngeal secretions were examined for viruses by culture and by immunofluorescence. Viruses were detected in 22% of specimens: respiratory syncytial (5%), parainfluenza (5%), influenza A (4%), influenza B (2%), adenovirus (3%), measles (3%). The highest rates of detection were with patients diagnosed clinically as pneumonia or upper respiratory tract infection. The case fatality rate was very high (43%) in children with measles virus infection., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-35-4-219
