Comparative StudyA novel PCR-based point-of-care method facilitates rapid, efficient, and sensitive diagnosis of influenza virus infection.
The aim of this single-centre study was the comparative analysis of the GeneXpert (Cepheid Inc.) and the LIAT (Roche) system for the rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection of influenza A (IA) and influenza B (IB) viruses. ⋯ The LIAT system represents a robust and highly sensitive point-of-care device for the rapid PCR-based detection of influenza A and influenza B viruses.
