Clinical evaluation of multiplex RT-PCR assays for the detection of influenza A/B and respiratory syncytial virus using a high throughput system.

CONCLUSION: Compared with CE-IVD assays, the assay evaluated here showed good analytical and clinical sensitivity and specificity with broad coverage of different virus strains. It offers high-throughput capacity with low hands-on time, facilitating the laboratory management of large respiratory outbreaks.
