Real-Time PCR with an Internal Control for Detection of All Known Human Adenovirus Serotypes

Abstract excerpt

The "gold standard" for the diagnosis of adenovirus (AV) infection is virus culture, which is rather time-consuming. Especially for immunocompromised patients, in whom severe infections with AV have been described, rapid diagnosis is important. Therefore, an internally controlled AV real-time PCR assay detecting all known human AV serotypes was developed. Primers were chosen from the hexon region, which is the...
