Abstract
To determine sensitivity of rapid diagnostic tests for detecting influenza A(H7N9) virus, we compared rapid tests with PCR results and tested different types of clinical samples. Usefulness of seasonal influenza rapid tests for A(H7N9) virus infections is limited because of their low sensitivity for detecting virus in upper respiratory tract specimens.

Recent developments in the diagnosis of avian influenza.

TL;DR: The diagnosis of influenza A virus infections in poultry or wild birds is difficult due to variations in the pathogenicity of the viruses in different avian hosts and the antigenic and genetic diversity of the virus, particularly the recent H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.

Rapid Detection of Avian Influenza A Virus (H7N9) by Lateral Flow Dipstick Recombinase Polymerase Amplification.

TL;DR: A lateral flow dipstick recombinase polymerase amplification (LFD-RPA) assay for rapid detection of both hemagglutinin and neuraminidase gene of H7N9 shows 100% analytical specificity and sufficient analytical sensitivity results agreed the real time RT-PCR assay.

Virus-induced pathogenesis, vaccine development, and diagnosis of novel H7N9 avian influenza A virus in humans: a systemic literature review.

TL;DR: A systemic review regarding virus-induced pathogenesis, vaccine development, and diagnosis of H7N9 AIV infection in humans finds mechanisms via which the virus induces severe syndromes remain unclear.

TL;DR: Children who had certain endothelial and immune function markers were more likely to survive infection and be diagnosed with infection later in life.

Sensitivity of influenza rapid diagnostic tests to H5N1 and 2009 pandemic H1N1 viruses.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the detection sensitivity to swine origin H1N1 viruses varies widely among IRDTs, with some tests lacking sufficient sensitivity to detect the early stages of infection when the virus load is low.
