Abstract:: Background: Detection and differentiation of influenza A viral RNA and influenza A (H1N1) 2009 viral RNA have gained significance because of their widespread community transmission. Objective: To study the accuracy and the performance of four molecular assays for the detection and differentiation of influenza A viral RNA and influenza A ( H1N1) 2009 viral RNA in the routine diagnostic laboratory. Study design: The accuracy of the molecular assays was determined with reference material. For evaluation of the performance, 104 clinical specimens were studied. Sample preparation was done on a fully automated extraction instrument. For amplification and detection of influenza RNA, all molecular assays evaluated were based on real-time PCR. Results: When the accuracy was tested, the majority of assays yielded results as expected. When clinical samples were analyzed, 94 samples gave concordant results with all assays. One of the assays showed one false-negative result and another assay 10 false-negatives. Conclusion: The majority of assays evaluated in this study proved suitable for the detection and differentiation of influenza A viral RNA and influenza A ( H1N1) 2009 viral RNA. All assays are easy to handle and provide results rapidly. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
