Development of quantitative multiplex real-time RT-PCR assays for detection of 13 conventional and newly discovered viruses associated with lower respiratory tract infections in children in South Africa

Acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) is a major cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality, annually accounting for approximately 2 million childhood deaths worldwide of which up to 90% resides in the developing world.
