Abstract
The fluorescent antibody test for respiratory syncytial virus detection in nasal [human] secretions was compared to virus cultures (n = 310). The sensitivity, specificity and predictive value (+) were 95.1%, 86.5%, and 88.5%, respectively.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
