This study aims to prospectively estimate the incidence of Respiratory virus (RV) infections in children with symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) or lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) using the FilmArrayTM System, a novel highly sensitive and rapid assay for RV detection. An aliquot from the leftover sample remaining after clinical diagnostic testing will be used for FilmArrayTM analysis. Patients will be accrued on the study over a one year period.
The Primary Objective of the study is:
The Secondary Objectives of the study are:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Children with upper or lower respiratory infections | Respiratory Virus infections in children who are symptomatic with either an Upper Respiratory Tract Infections and/or Lower Respiratory Tract Infections is determined by using a novel highly sensitive and rapid assay for RV detection. An aliquot from the leftover sample remaining after clinical diagnostic testing will be used for FilmArrayTM analysis. Specimens collected will include nasopharyngeal washes, nasopharyngeal swabs, tracheal aspirates and bronchoalveolar lavage as ordered by the treating physician. Diagnostic studies on this specimen will be performed as ordered and the results will be available to the treating physicians after reporting. |

| This study prospectively estimates and measures the duration of Respiratory Virus infections in symptomatic children by studying the epidemiology and natural history of infections with these viruses . | These viruses have been known to cause interstitial lung disease, will help clarify the etiology of "idiopathic pneumonia" post chemotherapy . | 1 year |
| This study analyses respiratory viruses using Filmarray TM method | 1 year |
