ABSTRACT The Hexaplex assay (Prodesse, Inc., Milwaukee, Wis.) is a multiplex reverse
transcriptase (RT)-PCR assay for the detection of parainfluenza virus types 1, 2, and 3 …

We compared two rapid, point-of care nucleic acid amplification tests for detection of
influenza A and B viruses (Alere i [Alere] and cobas Liat [Roche Diagnostics]) with the …

Both high-and low-pathogenic H7N9 influenza A virus (IAV) infections have been found in
human and poultry in China, and most human cases are related to contact with infected …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) in
detecting H1N1 2009 influenza A virus in respiratory samples from pediatric patients in …

In response to the lack of sensitivity and reproducibility of previously marketed rapid antigen
detection tests, a novel fluorescent immunoassay was recently developed. This new assay …

Detecting avian influenza virus (AIV) and Newcastle disease virus (NDV) at low
concentrations from tracheal and cloacal swabs of avian influenza-and Newcastle disease …

Seasonal epidemics of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus are responsible for
significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Infrequently, novel or reemergent strains of …

Nowadays, influenza antigen detection test kits are used most frequently to detect influenza
A or B virus to establish the diagnosis of influenza rapidly and initiate appropriate therapy …

This study compares the performance of four commercial multiplex PCR assays (Resplex II
Panel v2. 0, Seeplex RV15, xTAG RVP and xTAG RVP Fast) and direct fluorescent antibody …

ABSTRACT The Alere i Influenza A&B assay is a newly developed rapid molecular assay
