Development of multiplex nucleic acid sequence-based amplification for detection of human respiratory tract viruses.
A group of common lower respiratory tract infections, influenza A, influenza B, human parainfluenza virus 1-4 (HPIV1-4), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rubella virus (RV) and Coxsackie virus (CSV), were selected for the development of a multiplex nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) assay. Quantifiable measurement utilizing an enzyme-linked oligonucleotide capture (EOC) optical...
متن کاملProficiency of Nucleic Acid Tests for Avian Influenza Viruses, Australasia
An avian influenza quality assurance program was used to provide information for laboratories on the sensitivity and specificity of their avian influenza nucleic acid testing. Most laboratories were able to correctly detect clinically relevant amounts of influenza virus (H5N1), and results improved as each subsequent panel was tested.
متن کاملNucleic acid amplification tests for the diagnosis of pneumonia.
Molecular diagnostic techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are promising tools for the rapid etiological diagnosis of pneumonia. PCR offers potential advantages over conventional tests for the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Legionella species, and Chlamydia pneumoniae. For pneumococcal pneumonia in adults, PCR adds little to existing diagnostic tests and is unable to disting...
متن کاملNucleic Acid amplification tests for diagnosis of Bordetella infections.
The global epidemiology of pertussis has recently been reviewed (12, 15). Bordetella pertussis continues to circulate even in populations where high vaccination coverage of infants and children is achieved (15, 23), because the protection after natural infection wanes after 10 to 15 years and protection after vaccination lasts for 6 to 10 years (15). A significant increase of pertussis cases wa...
متن کاملSensitivity and Specificity of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Method for Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Abstract Background and Objective: Culture, microscopic method is a gold standard method for identification of Lishmania parasite. The use of Molecular methods such as RT- PCR compared to microscopic methods has a higher sensitivity and specificity however, it is not widely used due to its expensive equipment and the time requested. The use of nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) ...
