Comparison of ELISA, SPACE, and electron microscopy for the routine diagnosis of rotavirus infection.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA] and a newly developed solid phase aggregation of coupled erythrocytes assay [SPACE] were compared with EM. EM was shown to be as sensitive as EM but more versatile. ELISA probably could be successfully incorporated into the routine of any diagnostic laboratory.
