Rapid antigen detection test for respiratory syncytial virus diagnosis as a diagnostic tool.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the QuickVue® RSV Test Kit (QUIDEL Corp, CA, USA) as a screening tool for respiratory syncytial virus in children with acute respiratory disease in comparison with the indirect immunofluorescence assay as gold standard. In Brazil, rapid antigen detection tests for respiratory syncytial virus are not routinely utilized as a diagnostic tool, except ...
متن کاملDiagnostic efficacy of two rapid tests for detection of respiratory syncytial virus antigen.
With the availability of ribavirin therapy for serious respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections, rapid diagnostic tests for the detection of RSV antigen are increasingly important. Efficacies of a commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill.) and a fluorescent-antibody assay (FA) were evaluated in a study involving 135 specimens from children wit...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection
Seventy-eight unselected children under the age of 2 years suffering from acute respiratory infections were investigated by the fluorescent antibody technique and a comparison was made with conventional isolation and serological methods. Sixty-nine per cent. of children with bronchiolitis were diagnosed as suffering from respiratory syncytial virus infection on the day of admission by examinati...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of rapid antigen tests for diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus infections.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are two important viral pathogens that cause respiratory tract infections in the pediatric population. The rapid detection of these agents allows the prompt isolation and treatment of infected patients. In the present prospective study, we evaluated the performances of four rapid antigen detection assays, including a rapid chrom...
متن کاملUse of rapid human respiratory syncytial virus strip tests for detection of bovine respiratory syncytial virus in experimentally vaccinated calves.
Three different rapid strip tests: TRU RSV, BinaxNOW RSV and RSV Respi-strip were compared with RT-PCR and ELISA BRSV Ag for the ability to detect bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) in nasal swabs collected from calves experimentally vaccinated with live vaccine Rispoval RS-PI3. The reference strains of BRSV (375 and A51908) were detected by ELISA BRSV Ag whereas the strains of human res...
