Abstract
A simultaneous triple culture for adenovirus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus, using three different fluorochromes for virus detection and differentiation in the same shell vial, was developed. In evaluations the triple culture performed comparably to separate cultures, required less specimen volume, and was less expensive to perform.
