Respiratory virus infections 2007-09-06 .txt text/plain 6057 297 38 1 This has enabled the identification of many viruses, including those commonly causing respiratory infections -influenza, RSV, PIV 1-4, adenoviruses, measles, enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, VZV, CMV and HSV. 3 After 24-72 h of culture, using pooled or single fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled monoclonal antibodies directed against influenza A and B, RSV, parainfluenza 1-3 and adenoviruses, rapid identification of a respiratory virus infection can be established. Diagnosis of rhinovirus infection rarely requires laboratory testing but virus isolation, detection of viral RNA by RT-PCR, antigen detection by DIF in cells from respiratory secretions or detection of a fourfold rise in antibody titres by neutralization test or EIA can be performed if required. Diagnosis of the specific cause of an acute pneumonia due to a particular viral agent is complicated by difficulty in obtaining appropriate lower respiratory tract samples for culture and in isolating or detecting certain pathogens, and additionally by the frequent asymptomatic shedding of some viruses, e.g. herpes simplex virus or adenoviruses. ./cache/cord-294544-iutcduix.txt ./txt/cord-294544-iutcduix.txt
