[h=3]Abstract[/h] We evaluated the added value of collecting both nasal and oropharyngeal swabs compared to nasal swabs alone for detection of common respiratory viruses by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction in hospitalized children aged <10 years. Nasal swabs had equal or greater sensitivity than oropharyngeal swabs for detection of respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, human metapneumoviruses, rhinovirus, and influenza viruses, but not parainfluenza viruses. The addition of an oropharyngeal swab compared to nasal swab alone increased detection of each respiratory virus by <10% in children aged <10 years.
