Viral diagnosis, until recently, was basically considered to be rather time consuming, fairly expensive and for the most part, inaccessible to the clinician. Currently, however, the role of viruses in infections tend to be increasingly recognized particularly in the immunocompromised patient, the neonate and in sexually transmitted diseases. Furthermore, the recent advances in chemotherapy of viral diseases particularly for serious herpesvirus infections, has made the necessity of a rapid and as well as an accurate viral diagnosis more demanding.
