Rapid diagnosis of enterovirus infection by a new one-step reverse transcription-PCR assay.

چکیده
The AMPLICOR Enterovirus Test was evaluated with 103 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens. Twenty-seven CSF specimens were culture positive. With the AMPLICOR test, enterovirus RNA was detected in 34 specimens. Compared with culture, the AMPLICOR test gave a sensitivity of 96.3% and a specificity of 100%. The sensitivity of culture was 79.4% in comparison with the AMPLICOR test.

A new real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay for detection of human enterovirus 68 in respiratory samples.
A global reemergence of human enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) associated with severe respiratory illness occurred in 2014. We developed and validated an EV-D68-specific real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) for the detection of EV-D68 in respiratory samples. The rapid diagnosis of EV-D68 may contribute to better management of EV-D68 infections.
متن کاملNew reverse transcription-PCR assay for rapid and sensitive detection of enterovirus genomes in cerebrospinal fluid specimens of patients with aseptic meningitis.
Enterovirus (EV) detection by a new commercially available reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay (Penter RT-PCR test) was compared with EV isolation from cell cultures and with EV detection by an in-house RT-PCR assay. Of the 54 cerebrospinal fluid specimens collected during a summer outbreak of aseptic meningitis, 52% were positive by cell culture versus 76% by in-house RT-PCR assay and 80% by ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of enterovirus infection by genus-specific PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
PCR for the diagnosis of enterovirus infections is resource intensive but is increasingly used due to wide availability. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) that detect heterotypical antibodies against enterovirus immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgA, and IgG were compared with reverse transcription-PCR by using primers specific to the 5' untranslated regions of 60 enterovirus species. The ELISA...
متن کاملRapid simultaneous detection of enterovirus and parechovirus RNAs in clinical samples by one-step real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay.
Enteroviruses (EVs) are recognized as the major etiological agent in meningitis in children and young adults. The use of molecular techniques, such as PCR, has substantially improved the sensitivity of enterovirus detection compared to that of virus culture methods. PCR-based methods also can detect a much wider range of EV variants, including those within species A, as well as human parechovir...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of poliovirus infection by PCR amplification.
A single-tube, single-primer-set reverse transcription-PCR assay was developed for the rapid detection of polioviruses in infected tissue culture fluids and clinical materials. The poliovirus-specific PCR primers are located in the VP1-2A region of the poliovirus genome. They generate a 290-bp product and can be used in duplex reactions with general enterovirus primers. The primers span the reg...
