Table 1.

Number of positive samples for respiratory virus nucleic acid in two groups of samples (serous and mucoid) based on the type of effusion in 54 children with otitis media with effusion. Differences between these two groups were statistically non-significant with Fisher's Exact Test (level of significance: P ≤ 0.05).

	Total (n = 75)	Serous (n = 36)	Mucoid (n = 39)
Positive samples	26 (34.7%)	10 (27.8%)	16 (41.0%)
Single virus	19 (25.3%)	8 (22.2%)	11 (28.2%)
Dual virus	6 (8.0%)	1 (2.8%)	5 (12.8%)
Triple virus	1 (1.3%)	1 (2.8%)	0 (0.0%)
Rhinovirus positive	10 (13.3%)	2 (5.6%)	8 (20.5%)
Enterovirus positive	22 (29.3%)	9 (25.0%)	13 (33.3%)
Bocavirus positive	2 (2.7%)	2 (5.6%)	0 (0.0%)
