New Approaches to Laboratory Diagnosis

  • Chapter
Coxsackieviruses

Part of the book series: Infectious Agents and Pathogenesis ((IAPA))

Abstract

Classic laboratory techniques to diagnose coxsackievirus (CV)-induced diseases include isolation and typing of the causative agent from body fluids and/or demonstration of virus-specific antibodies in serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens.1,2 These techniques generally are powerful in the diagnosis of viral infections; however, in the case of CV, they are hampered by many difficulties.
