Comparative evaluation of six commercialized multiplex PCR kits for the diagnosis of respiratory infections.

The molecular diagnosis of respiratory infection can be performed using different commercial multiplex-based PCR kits whose performances have been previously compared individually to those of conventional techniques. This study compared the practicability and the diagnostic performances of six CE-ma...
