A total of 281 clinical specimens (nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal aspirates) were tested with the Xpert (R) Flu/RSV XC The results were compared to those obtained with the real-time retro transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assays routinely used in our laboratory. The Xpert (R) Flu/RSV XC showed sensitivity/specificity of 97.8%/100% and 97.9%/100% for flu and respiratory syncytial virus, respectively.
