Rapid detection of influenza-B virus in respiratory secretions by immunofluorescence during an epidemic
Abstract
A commercially available indirect immunofluorescent assay for detection of respiratory viruses in nasal secretions was compared with cell culture during an influenza-B epidemic. This assay had poor sensitivity in the detection of influenza-B virus when used directly patients specimens.
