Popis: Rapid laboratory testing is essential to detect HSV in the lower respiratory tract to allow rapid treatment decisions. We evaluated the clinical performance of the Simplexa HSV 1 & 2 Direct assay in bronchoalveolar lavage. This assay is highly sensitive and specific in detecting HSV-1 and HSV-2 in bronchoalveolar lavage.
