Rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretions by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
A new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respiratory syncytial virus antigen detection kit (Ortho Diagnostics, Inc., Raritan, N.J.) was compared with virus culture and with the indirect fluorescent antibody test (FAT) by using fresh nasal washings from children with suspected respiratory syncytial virus infection. Both uncentrifuged nasal washings and pellets from centrifuged split speci...
متن کاملTime-resolved fluoroimmunoassay compared with virus isolation for rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal aspirates.
Two monoclonal antibodies against two distinct conserved epitopes of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) nucleocapsid protein were used in a direct time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) for the detection of RSV antigens in nasopharyngeal aspirates. The capture antibody was adsorbed to the solid phase of microdilution strip wells, and the indicator antibody was labeled with a europium chela...
متن کاملIdentification of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Genome in the Stool of a Child with Acute Gastroenteritis
Case Report: Some viruses have been reported to cause respiratory and gastroenteric infections simultaneously. In this case we present isolation of human respiratory virus (RSV) type B from diarrheal sample of a 12 months' child with acute gastroenteritis. Results: The results indicated the presence of RSV subtype B genome in all three stool samples. Moreover, no sign of co-infections with oth...
متن کاملComparison of virus culturing and immunofluorescence for rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretions: sensitivity and specificity.
I compared the fluorescent antibody test for respiratory syncytial virus in nasal secretions to virus cultures (N = 310). The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value (+) were 95.1%, 86.5%, and 88.5%, respectively.
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...
