    Author: Riddell MA, Chibo D, Kelly HA, Catton MG, Birch CJ.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2001 Jan; 39(1):375-6. PubMed ID: 11136805.
    Abstract:
    At various times postonset of rash, 74 patients positive for measles virus-specific immunoglobulin M provided samples for detection of measles virus RNA by a reverse transcriptase PCR. Of lymphocytes, urine, throat swab, and serum specimens, throat swab specimens were optimal for detection of measles virus RNA during the first 2 weeks after the rash.
