Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of three cell lines (HEp-2, NCI-H292, HeLa-I) in isolating Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV) from patients with respiratory issues.
- HRSV isolation rates were 46% in HeLa-I, 48% in HEp-2, and 36.3% in NCI-H292, with immunofluorescence being the gold standard, achieving a 53% positive rate.
- Combining all three cell lines improved sensitivity for detecting HRSV to 73.2%, with HeLa-I showing similar effectiveness to HEp-2, suggesting that using multiple cell
