- VirologyDiagnostic Accuracy of Four Commercial Triplex Immunochromatographic Tests for Rapid Detection of Rotavirus, Adenovirus, and Norovirus in Human Stool Samples
Noroviruses (NoV), rotaviruses (RVA), and adenoviruses (AdV) are the main viral agents responsible for acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in humans. We aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of four commercial immunochromatographic tests (ICTs) intended for the rapid and simultaneous detection of these three pathogens. Diagnostic accuracy of bioNexia Noro/Rota-Adeno (bioMérieux), Immunoquick NoRotAdeno (Biosynex), Rota+Adeno+Noro combo...
- VirologyMulticenter Clinical Validation of the Molecular BD Max Enteric Viral Panel for Detection of Enteric Pathogens
The conventional methodology for gastrointestinal pathogen detection remains time-consuming, expensive, and of limited sensitivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the BD Max enteric viral panel (Max EVP) assay for identification of viral pathogens in stool specimens from individuals with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, enteritis, or colitis.
