    Snippet: Several diagnostic methods have been described for RV. They can be classified in direct detection methods, which detect the virus or a part of it in the clinical sample, including viral culture, antigen detection methods and molecular techniques; and indirect methods, based on the detection of immune response to the virus by serologic assays.

    Document: Several diagnostic methods have been described for RV. They can be classified in direct detection methods, which detect the virus or a part of it in the clinical sample, including viral culture, antigen detection methods and molecular techniques; and indirect methods, based on the detection of immune response to the virus by serologic assays. In clinical practice, serology is not useful for the diagnosis of viral infections, such as ARI, that cause frequent recurrences and are mainly restricted to the respiratory mucosa. Thus, in these cases, direct detection of the virus in the site of infection has to be a priority [16, 17] .
