[Evaluation of immunochromatography test for rapid detection of influenza A and B viruses using real-time PCR].
The sensitivity of rapid diagnostic kits to influenza B is lower than to influenza A. The cause-poor performance of the kit or the scarcity of viruses in type B specimens-has yet to be clarified. Using real-time PCR, we measured the amount of influenza viruses with nasopharyngeal aspirate fluid previously identified by virus isolation culture and passing the rapid diagnosis test by four types o...
متن کاملFluorescent Immunochromatography for Rapid and Sensitive Typing of Seasonal Influenza Viruses
Lateral flow tests also known as Immunochromatography (IC) is an antigen-detection method conducted on a nitrocellulose membrane that can be completed in less than 20 min. IC has been used as an important rapid test for clinical diagnosis and surveillance of influenza viruses, but the IC sensitivity is relatively low (approximately 60%) and the limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 10³ pfu per ...
متن کاملRapid and Highly Informative Diagnostic Assay for H5N1 Influenza Viruses
A highly discriminative and information-rich diagnostic assay for H5N1 avian influenza would meet immediate patient care needs and provide valuable information for public health interventions, e.g., tracking of new and more dangerous variants by geographic area as well as avian-to-human or human-to-human transmission. In the present study, we have designed a rapid assay based on multilocus nucl...
متن کاملEvaluation of Alere i Influenza A&B for rapid detection of influenza viruses A and B.
Rapid and accurate diagnosis of influenza is important for infection control, as well as for patient management. Alere i Influenza A&B is an isothermal nucleic acid amplification-based integrated system for detection and differentiation of influenza virus A and influenza virus B. The performance of the Alere i Influenza A&B was screened using frozen nasopharyngeal-swab specimens collected in vi...
متن کاملComparison of four commercially available cAMP kits.
In this study four commercially available cAMP kits were compared and shown to differ with respect to reliability, sensitivity, simplicity and expiration time. It is not possible to recommend a particular kit, because the choice depends on the demands of the investigator, which, of course, may vary. However, in our opinion, one of the kits was inferior to the others.
