Utility of a respiratory virus panel containing a monoclonal antibody pool for screening of respiratory specimens in nonpeak respiratory syncytial virus season.

چکیده
An indirect immunofluorescence respiratory virus panel containing monoclonal antibodies directed against respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus types 1, 2, and 3, adenovirus, and influenza viruses A and B was used to screen specimens in the nonpeak respiratory syncytial virus seasons in 1989 and 1990. The results indicate that the respiratory virus panel is fairly sensitive (79%) and very specific (99%) for the detection of respiratory viruses directly in clinical specimens during these time periods.

Abstract One of the main cause of severe respiratory infection in infants and young children is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The disease can also occur in adults and elderly individuals and clinically not to be differentiated from other viral respiratory infection. The disease causes bronchiolitis, and sometimes pneumonia in new born and young children which requires hospital care. To di...
