病毒学检查首先用于诊断先天性及新生儿感染,其次用于呼吸道病毒的检侧.急性疹病(尤其是风疹或麻疹的出疹)在临床上不能诊断时可用病毒学检查.消化道疾病目前仍需病毒学检查,最近用免疫电镜曾发现一组新的呼肠样病毒消化道感染.先天性病毒感染的病原常为风疹或巨细胞病毒.病毒检查应采取喉拭、血清和脑脊 Virology tests are first used to diagnose congenital and neonatal infections, and secondly for the detection of respiratory viruses.Acute measles (especially rubella or measles rash) is clinically virologically unavailable for virological examination. Virology is still required, and recently a new set of reovirus infections have been identified with immunoelectron microscopy. The etiology of congenital viral infections is often rubella or cytomegalovirus. Viral tests should be performed on laryngeal swabs, serum and cerebrospinal fluid
