Rapid Detection and Identification of Human Adenovirus Species by Adenoplex, a Multiplex PCR-Enzyme Hybridization Assay

Abstract excerpt

Human adenoviruses (AdV) have been implicated in a wide variety of diseases and are ubiquitous in populations worldwide. These agents are of concern particularly in immunocompromised patients, children, and military recruits, resulting in severe disease or death. Clinical diagnosis of AdV is usually achieved through routine viral cell culture, which can take weeks for results. Immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked...
