We developed a real-time PCR procedure, based on automated specimen extraction and multiplex amplification, at a relatively low cost (D 33). We believe that a combination of low cost, high accuracy and prompt result delivery is the key to achieving a wide clinical use of molecular diagnostics of respiratory infections. Further studies of respiratory infection aetiologies in different patient categories, and of the clinical utility of this and similar multiplex assays, need to be carried out. Real-time RT-PCR detection of 12 respiratory viral infections in four triplex reactions Rapid and sensitive method using multiplex real-time PCR for diagnosis of infections by influenza A and influenza B viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza viruses 1, 2, 3, and 4 ./cache/cord-313749-f2ct57em.txt ./txt/cord-313749-f2ct57em.txt
