title: Diagnostic Accuracy of Seven Commercial Assays for Rapid Detection of Group A Rotavirus Antigens.
abstract: Seven commercial immunochromatographic assays intended for the detection of group A rotavirus antigens in human stool samples were evaluated. These assays showed similar levels of diagnostic accuracy and were suitable for the detection of rotavirus in patients with acute gastroenteritis but missed some asymptomatic rotavirus shedding identified by real-time reverse transcription-PCR.
