Key result
Multiplex real-time PCR detected at least one of five rash-associated viruses in 21.9% of clinical specimens from patients with erythema, with measles virus being the most frequently identified.
Why the study?
Can multiplex real-time PCR effectively detect and differentiate rash-associated viruses in clinical specimens from patients with erythema?
Cross-Sectional (n=169)

Can multiplex real-time PCR effectively detect and differentiate rash-associated viruses in clinical specimens from patients with erythema?
Multiplex real-time PCR is a useful screening method for detecting and differentiating rash-associated viruses in clinical specimens.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support multiplex PCR screening for rash viruses in erythema; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.
Kaida et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Erythema (n=169). Multiplex real-time PCR was evaluated on Detection of rash-associated viruses. Multiplex real-time PCR detected at least one of five rash-associated viruses in 21.9% of clinical specimens from patients with erythema, with measles virus being the most frequently identified.
