Abstract
Two 48-h Vero cell systems were compared with viral culture in human fibroblastic cells for isolation and identification of herpes simplex virus from clinical specimens. Both 48-h systems had 79% sensitivity and greater than 99% specificity as compared with the conventional tissue culture method.
