Simplified, rapid diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus from clinical specimens. Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology. 1997 Jun; 15(2): 99-103http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/36660Published by the Allergy and Immunology Society of Thailand.DOT ELISA was compared with RT-PCR and tissue culture to detect RSV from nasopharyngeal aspirates. DOT ELISA had diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 65.62% and 93.92%, respectively. The results indicate that DOT ELISA can be used for screening detection of RSV from clinical specimens and is suitable for small laboratories in the provincial areas of developing countries.engCells, CulturedChildEnzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay --methodsHumansInfantNasal Lavage Fluid --virologyPolymerase Chain Reaction --methodsRespiratory Syncytial Virus Infections --diagnosisRespiratory Syncytial Viruses --growth & developmentSensitivity and SpecificityComparative Study
