Normal range: Negative

Comment: Detect specific RSV antibody in patients suspected of having RSV. In a primary infection, RSV-specific IgM appears after 5-8 days and persists for several weeks. Detectable increases in RSV- specific IgG anti body titers occur 2-4 weeks after symptomatic infections. Thus, during an acute infection, serology is less sensitive than direct antigen detection or cell culture method

Sample: serum
