Rapid Enterovirus RNA Detection in Clinical Specimens by Using Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification

Abstract
Enterovirus (EV) detection by nucleic acid sequence-based amplification was compared with EV isolation in cell culture. The NucliSens Basic kit (bioMerieux) was utilized for RNA detection. For virus isolation, samples were inoculated into MRC-5, primary rhesus monkey kidney, A549, rhabdomyosarcoma, and/or Buffalo green monkey kidney cells.
