When you take your child to the doctor because the child is coughing and sneez-
ing with asthma-type symptoms, do you really know what’s wrong? Up to now, in
an offi ce visit, doctors have depended on physical exams, symptoms, and the
child’s history to explain the illness. Doctors use their best judgment to prescribe
antibiotics, but often the antibiotics don’t cure the child because the cause of the
ailment cannot be pinpointed. Now, however, a new test uses the Virochip, which
gives hope of understanding viruses associated with asthma attacks. A new study

number of viruses and viral subtypes in patients with respiratory tract infections
(RTIs). The technique used in the study may help identify new viruses associated
with human diseases and lead to specifi c strategies for treatment and prevention.
