A 5-h PCR assay (Amplicor enterovirus test) was compared with viral culture for the detection of enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid. Of the cerebrospinal fluid specimens collected during a summer outbreak of aseptic meningitis, 34% were positive by viral culture whereas 66% were positive by the Amplicor PCR, suggesting that this technique improves the diagnosis of enteroviral meningitis.
将一种5小时的聚合酶链反应检测法(Amplicor肠道病毒检测法)与病毒培养法进行比较,以检测脑脊液中的肠道病毒。在一次夏季无菌性脑膜炎暴发期间采集的脑脊液标本中,34%通过病毒培养呈阳性,而66%通过Amplicor聚合酶链反应呈阳性,这表明该技术改善了肠道病毒性脑膜炎的诊断。
