Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most of these infections are caused by viruses. Infections pose as important triggers of acute episodes of chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). This study sought to evaluate the frequency and circulation profile of respiratory viruses among ARI symptomatic patients and completely asymptomatic children in Midwest Brazil. The study enrolled symptomatic children with and without ARI symptoms. During 1 year, 225 nasal respiratory samples were obtained from patients aged 4-14 years old. The samples were screened by multiplex nested-PCR for 16 common respiratory viruses. From 225 samples, 42 had at least one virus detected. Samples from four different patients had multiple viruses detected. The viral detection rate in symptomatic (20.1%) and asymptomatic patients (14.8%) showed no significant difference. The most frequent viruses detected were rhinovirus (28.6%), FLUA (11.9%), adenovirus (11.9%), human bocavirus (HBoV) (11.9%), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antigenic group A (9.5%). Monthly detection rate was higher during the rainy season. RSVs were detected during the months with higher rainfall indexes and higher air humidity, while FLU and HBoV were detected during the winter months. The obtained results reinforce the importance of viral pathogens in pediatric population, emphasizing similar viral occurrence in symptomatic and asymptomatic children.
