The screening for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in nasopharyngeal secretions with enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) has been evaluated in infants and young children with acute respiratory infection. Both methods were compared with viral isolation in HEp-2 cells and the investigation of fluorescent foci in cell cultures inoculated by centrifugation. 226 samples were evaluated by IFF, 182 of which were also evaluated by ELISA while 158 were inoculated into cell cultures. 20.35% of samples were positive with IFF and 19.23% with ELISA. Isolation of RSV was obtained in 25 of the samples inoculated into HEp-2 cells (15.8%). The cytopathic effect took a mean of 5.4 days to develop. The investigation of fluorescent foci in centrifugated cultures allowed to detect 76% of positive samples 24 hours after centrifugation and 84% of positive samples 48 hours after it. Considering the viral isolation as the reference method, IIF and ELISA had a 88% and 76% sensitivity, respectively, with very similar specifities (90.2% and 91.7%).

D009093	Mucus	The viscous secretion of mucous membranes. It contains mucin, white blood cells, water, inorganic salts, and exfoliated cells.
D009305	Nasopharynx	The top portion of the pharynx situated posterior to the nose and superior to the SOFT PALATE. The nasopharynx is the posterior extension of the nasal cavities and has a respiratory function.	Rhinopharynx,Choanae,Nasopharynges,Nasopharynxes,Rhinopharynges,Rhinopharynxes
D010253	Respirovirus Infections	Infections with viruses of the genus RESPIROVIRUS, family PARAMYXOVIRIDAE. Host cell infection occurs by adsorption, via HEMAGGLUTININ, to the cell surface.	Infections, Respirovirus
D012136	Respiratory Syncytial Viruses	A group of viruses in the PNEUMOVIRUS genus causing respiratory infections in various mammals. Humans and cattle are most affected but infections in goats and sheep have also been reported.

D004797	Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay	An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
