Laboratory Findings

RSV infection can be confirmed using:

• Direct Fluorescent Antibody detection (DFA)
• Chromatographic rapid antigen detection or detection of viral RNA using RT PCR.

Quantification of viral load can be determined by:

• Plaque Assay
• antigen capture enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
• ELISA
• HA

Quantification of antibody levels can be determined by:

• HAI
• Neutralisation assay
