ABSTRACT
DOT ELISA was compared with RT-PCR and tissue culture to detect RSV from nasopharyngeal aspirates. DOT ELISA had diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 65.62% and 93.92%, respectively. The results indicate that DOT ELISA can be used for screening detection of RSV from clinical specimens and is suitable for small laboratories in the provincial areas of developing countries.
