Rapid detection and identification of respiratory viruses by direct immunofluorescence.
The use of fluorescein-conjugated antiserum against respiratory syncytial (RS) and parainfluenza 1 and 3 viruses was compared with conventional techniques in the rapid detection of virus in tissue cultures inoculated with pharyngeal specimens known to contain these viruses. Twenty-three specimens were tested: 9 RS, 8 parainfluenza 1, and 6 parainfluenza 3. The fluorescent-antibody technique (FA...
متن کاملEfficiency of immunofluorescence for rapid detection of common respiratory viruses.
Rapid immunofluorescence (FA) methods for the detection of common respiratory viruses were compared with culture results over a 3-year period to assess the relative efficiency of FA in a clinical laboratory setting. For respiratory syncytial virus, efficiencies were high (sensitivity, 90 to 95%; specificity, 92 to 95%). The sensitivity of FA for detection of parainfluenza virus type 1, parainfl...
متن کاملRapid identification of viruses by indirect immunofluorescence: standardization and use of antiserum pool to nine respiratory viruses.
The indirect fluorescent antibody test employing treated and standardized antisera and conjugated antiglobulin has been used successfully, in conjunction with a technique for growing and staining virus cell systems in situ on microscope slides, in the identification of nine respiratory viruses. By using pooled antisera in a single test, the presence or absence of these viruses was determined in...
متن کاملRapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus by indirect immunofluorescence in infants hospitalized with acute respiratory disease.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is well recognized as the single most important pathogen accounting for acute viral infections of lower respiratory tract in infants and young children. Outbreaks of RSV infections occur each year in winter and early spring (L Pednealut et al. 1994 J Clin Microbiol 32: 2861-2864). In Cuba, acute respiratory diseases (ARD) constitute a major problem of health, a...
متن کاملRapid detection of respiratory viruses by shell vial culture and direct staining by using pooled and individual monoclonal antibodies.
The Bartels respiratory virus panel detection kit is an indirect fluorescent-antibody (IFA) method that uses pooled and individual antisera for tissue culture confirmation of seven respiratory viruses. We evaluated these reagents for detecting viral antigen in shell vial cultures and by direct staining of cells from respiratory specimens. The isolation from 254 specimens of respiratory viruses ...
