Adenovirus causes respiratory tract infections, conjunctivitis, and diarrhea. Infections are most common in individuals who are immunocompromised and in young children. Adenovirus antigen detection is useful to confirm the diagnosis of adenovirus infection in patients with respiratory illness.
* This volume does not allow for repeat testing
To maintain optimum viability, place fluid into VCM (equal volumes of fluid and VCM)
Non-respiratory specimens
Received in formalin or other fixatives
Received in non-viral transport media such as nucleic acid or bacterial transport media
Sputum
Unpreserved Samples
Best recovery is obtained when the specimens are refrigerated following collection and while in transit
On wet ice following collection and while in transit
If there will be a long delay before processing, specimens into media it should be frozen at -70ºC or colder and transported on dry ice.
