Overview

Marburg virus infection may be confirmed by the laboratory techniques such as antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, antigen-capture detection tests, serum neutralization test, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), antigen detection tests and virus isolation by cell culture.

Laboratory Studies

Lab test for Marburg virus detection [1]
antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
antigen-capture detection tests
Serum neutralization test
Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay
Antigen detection tests
Virus isolation by cell culture
  • Tests on clinical samples present an extreme biohazard risk and are conducted only under maximum biological containment conditions. In deceased patients, immunohistochemistry, virus isolation, or PCR of blood or tissue specimens may be used to diagnose Marburg HF retrospectively.
