  • Title: Rapid and sensitive detection of enteroviruses in specimens from patients with aseptic meningitis.
    Author: Yerly S, Gervaix A, Simonet V, Caflisch M, Perrin L, Wunderli W.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1996 Jan; 34(1):199-201. PubMed ID: 8748304.
    Abstract:
    A 5-h PCR assay (Amplicor enterovirus test) was compared with viral culture for the detection of enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid. Of the cerebrospinal fluid specimens collected during a summer outbreak of aseptic meningitis, 34% were positive by viral culture whereas 66% were positive by the Amplicor PCR, suggesting that this technique improves the diagnosis of enteroviral meningitis.
