Objectives To provide a summary of evidence for the diagnostic accuracies of three
multiplex PCR systems (mPCRs)—BioFire FilmArray RP (FilmArray), Nanosphere Verigene …

We compared the diagnostic performance and overall respiratory pathogen detection rate of
the premarket version of the FilmArray Respiratory Panel (RP) multiplex PCR assay (Idaho …

There are several US FDA-cleared molecular respiratory virus panels available today, each
with advantages and disadvantages. This study compares four multiplex panels, the BioFire …

Rapid and definitive diagnosis of viral respiratory infections is imperative in patient triage
and management. We compared the outcomes for adult patients with positive tests for …

BACKGROUND: Commercial multiplex PCR panels for respiratory viruses (PRV) have been
recently developed. ResPlex II Panel v2. 0 (Qiagen), MultiCode®-PLx (EraGen …

The performances of four multiplex PCR (m‐PCR) were compared to direct
immunofluorescence assay (DFA) and HuH7 cell culture for the detection of viruses in 263 …

Background Multiplex real time PCR is increasingly used to diagnose respiratory viruses
and has shown to be superior to traditional methods, like culture and antigen detection …

Virology laboratories historically have used direct fluorescent-antibody assay (DFA) and
culture to detect six or seven respiratory viruses. Following the discovery of five new human …

Respiratory tract infections can be caused by a heterogeneous group of viruses and bacteria
that produce similar clinical presentations. Specific diagnosis therefore relies on laboratory …

Clinical presentations for viral respiratory tract infections are often nonspecific, and a rapid,
high-throughput laboratory technique that can detect a panel of common viral pathogens is …
