Abstract
The purpose of this study was to use real-time PCR to verify the detection of RSV in nasopharyngeal and throat swabs from hospitalized children less than 5 years who had influenza-like disease but moderate-to-severe pneumonia, and bronchial swabs from carcasses of sheep in Diwaniyah slaughterhouse. Viral RNA was detected in 28% (5/18) of children and 9% (4/45) according to real-time RT-PCR results. There was a noticeable circulating infection with HRSV and ORSV 2019, in which the findings demonstrated a substantial viral load. Finally, it should be noted that RT-PCR can help reduce severe disease and is advised for the diagnosis of RSV virus infections in pneumonia cases involving younger patients and sheep.
