Overview
Other diagnostic studies that may be helpful in the diagnosis of rabies include nucleic acid sequence ̶ based amplification (NASBA) technique on urine, CSF and saliva specimens.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Other diagnostic studies associated with rabies may include:
- The nucleic acid sequence ̶ based amplification (NASBA) technique on urine samples may be helpful in the future diagnosis of rabies.
- The nucleic acid sequence ̶ based amplification (NASBA) technique on CSF and saliva may be used for the diagnosis of rabies after 2 days of the start of symptoms.[1][2]
