T1 - Influenza A H5N1 Detection T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2005 VL - 11 IS - 8 SP - 1303 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We developed a sensitive and rapid real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay to detect influenza A H5N1 virus in clinical samples. This assay was evaluated with samples from H5N1-infected patients and demonstrated greater sensitivity and faster turnaround time than nested RT-PCR.
