PCR and identification of viruses in sids

Advances in rapid point-of-care virus testing

“…The advent of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology has made it possible to amplify and detect viral nucleic acids, greatly improving the sensitivity and specificity of the test. 30,31 In addition to PCR technology, immunoassay techniques are also evolving. For example, methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence techniques are widely used for the detection of viral antigens or antibodies.…”
