Abstract in Portuguese
As doenças respiratórias agudas (DRAs) são as causas mais comuns de morbidez e mortalidade infantil mundial, podendo ser causadas por uma grande variedade de microorganismos. A fim de se detectar os vírus respiratórios mais comumente associados às infecções agudas do trato respiratório e traçar seu perfil epidemiológico, utilizamos um protocolo de GS RT-PCR (GeneScan Transcrição Reversa-Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase) para a rápida detecção simultânea do, vírus influenza A e B, parainfluenzavirus tipo 1, 2 e 3, picornavirus, metapneumovirus e o adenovírus. As amostras clínicas foram colhidas de crianças menores de cinco anos de idade, apresentando sintomas respiratórios, no Hospital Universitário (HU) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), durante o ano de 2003. O GS RT-PCR se mostrou uma metodologia sensível e específica, capaz de detectar uma diversidade maior de agentes infecciosos do trato respiratório em relação à Imunofluorescência Indireta (IFI), reduzindo neste estudo a porcentagem de amostras negativas de 69,9% (235 amostras) para 22% (74 amostras).

Abstract in English
A reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay based on automated fluorescent capillary electrophoresis and GeneScan software analysis was used to detect nine common respiratory viruses in clinical specimens from young children. Assays for human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), human parainfluenza viruses 1, 2, and 3, influenza A and B viruses, human metapneumovirus, adenovirus and picornavirus were incorporated into a screening PCR standard assay format. The optimized assay panel was used to test 336 respiratory specimens obtained from children hospitalized with acute respiratory illness (ARI) that had been previously tested by viral culture and indirect immunofluorescence staining (IIF). GS RT-PCR showed be a sensitive and specific methodology, able to detect a larger diversity of respiratory viruses regarding IFI, reducing in this study the percentage of negative samples of 69,9% (235 samples) to 22% (74 samples).
