RSV is an enveloped, spherical, RNA virus of the family paramyxoviridae and is classified in the genus Pneumovirus. This genus has four members: human RSV, bovine RSV, pneumonia virus of mice and turkey rhinotracheitis virus3, 4. RSV is spread by virus-laden droplets of respiratory secretions from infected individuals. Infection may manifest as a variety of symptoms, ranging from rhinitis to pneumonia, which are influenced by factors such as the age, sex and socio-economic background of infected individuals.5
The laboratory diagnosis of RSV plays an important role in patient management and assists in the control of outbreaks6, 7, 8,9, 10. Methods commonly employed for laboratory diagnosis of RSV infection include direct detection of virus or viral proteins in clinical samples such as nasopharyngeal aspirates and isolation of viable virus in cell culture monolayers inoculated with respiratory secretions11, 12
