Journal ArticleDOI

Species-Specific Identification of Human Adenoviruses by a Multiplex PCR Assay

TL;DR: A multiplex PCR assay was developed by using primers to the fiber gene that could differentiate human adenovirus species A through F in a single amplification reaction, which will permit rapid, accurate, and cost-effective classification of Ad isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and Quantitation of Species C Adenovirus DNA in Human Mucosal Lymphocytes

TL;DR: The frequent finding of significant quantities of adenovirus DNA in tonsil and adenoid tissues, infectious virus was rarely present, as measured by coculture with permissive cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay for SARS-associated coronavirus.

TL;DR: A real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was developed to rapidly detect the severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and proved suitable to detect SARS- coV in clinical specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of viral respiratory tract infections in children with asthma.

TL;DR: The results support the need for therapies effective against rhinovirus as a means to decrease asthma exacerbations in children and call for further research into this topic.
