More rapid methods, including electron microscopy, immunoassays, and nucleic acid probes, are now available ...
متن کاملDiagnostic virology in a community hospital.
Seven and one-half years of experience in a small diagnostic virology laboratory of a large inner-city hospital are reported. Seven hundred fifty-one viruses were isolated from over 8,000 specimens, using two types of tissue culture cells, human and monkey kidney. The most common isolates were Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) and Enteroviruses. Similar results have been reported by larger laborator...
متن کاملMolecular techniques for clinical diagnostic virology.
A decade after the first studies were performed it is justifiable to claim that molecular techniques have revolutionised the work of the clinical virology laboratory. Hitherto, the role of the virology laboratory was often a retrospective diagnosis based on virus isolation and serology. Nevertheless, the epidemiological data collected in this way justified the continued activity of clinical vir...
متن کاملDiagnostic virology: from animals to automation.
Methods for diagnosis of viral infection have progressed rapidly during the past two to three decades from animal inoculation to computer automation. Virus isolation, however, still remains the "gold standard." With the availability of antiviral agents, physicians now demand accurate laboratory diagnosis of their patients' illnesses in order to give proper treatment. Discovery of unknown viral ...
متن کاملDiagnostic virology laboratory within a microbiology setting.
The virology section at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Connecticut, is not a separate laboratory division but is a part of the microbiology division and is supervised by the same personnel who supervise bacteriology, mycology, mycobacteriology, and serology. Current volume is over 1,000 cultures yearly with 12 to 24 percent positive. Isolates are confirmed and typed by the Connecticut...
