| Popis: |
We compared RT-PCR and a newly developed amplified EIA for the detection of human astrovirus (HAstV) in 48 stool samples taken from children of less than five years of age with gastroenteritis. The RT-PCR classified more samples as positive than the EIA (18 versus 8). Without sensitive diagnosis, infection control policies will be disadvantaged and the true economic burden of HAstV underestimated. |
