Detection of Respiratory Viruses from ARTI Patients by xTAG RVP Fast v2 Assay and Conventional Methods

“…The ability of the xTAG RVP Fast v2 assay to detect these viral pathogens, as well as PIV-4 and the influenza A H1N1 subtype, which has caused severe infections and outbreaks worldwide (37,38), is an advantage of multiplex molecular assays over conventional diagnostic methods. In addition, the xTAG RVP Fast v2 assay can detect respiratory viruses, such as HMBV and HRV, both which are difficult to culture in cell lines (27,39). A cost analysis previously performed on a paediatric population demonstrated that the RVP assay was a much less costly strategy than viral culture and IF staining methods for the diagnosis of viral respiratory tract infections (40).…”
