Simultaneous Detection and Identification of Human Parainfluenza Viruses 1, 2, and 3 from Clinical Samples by Multiplex PCR

Abstract excerpt

Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assays have been widely described for use in the diagnosis of human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) and other respiratory virus pathogens. However, these assays are mostly monospecific, requiring separate amplifications for each HPIV type. In the present work, we describe multiplex RT-PCR assays that detect and differentiate HPIV serotypes 1, 2, and 3 in a combined reaction....
