Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and RT-PCR were used for rapid diagnosis of enterovirus infection during an outbreak of aseptic meningitis in Gomel. IgM to enterovirus were detected in 93.6% sera by IIF and in 71.4% cerebrospinal fluid specimens by RT-PCR. IIF takes only 1.5-2 h and RT-PCR 6-7 h. The methods are recommended for rapid diagnosis of enterovirus infection.
