Quality control in diagnostic virology is in its infancy and some preliminary investigations are reported. Simulated specimens containing viruses have been prepared and distributed so that they could be included in the routine work of virus isolation in participating laboratories. Sera containing antibodies to rubella and influenza virus have also been sent to laboratories for testing. Laboratories were able to check their results immediately after the closing date, and could compare their performance with that of other laboratories when the analysis of each distribution was circulated. The results so far show considerable variation in performance and indicate that there is room for improvement in some laboratories. There is no evidence to show whether the exercise has had any effect on the practice of virology in participating laboratories but some baselines have been produced for comparison with the results of investigations in the future.
诊断病毒学中的质量控制尚处于起步阶段，本文报告了一些初步调查。已制备并分发了含有病毒的模拟标本，以便将其纳入参与实验室的病毒分离常规工作中。还向各实验室发送了含有风疹和流感病毒抗体的血清进行检测。实验室能够在截止日期后立即检查其结果，并且在每次分发的分析结果传阅时，可以将自己的表现与其他实验室进行比较。目前的结果显示各实验室的表现存在很大差异，表明一些实验室仍有改进空间。尚无证据表明该活动对参与实验室的病毒学实践是否产生了任何影响，但已产生了一些基线数据以便与未来的调查结果进行比较。
