| Abstract | The ability of two commercial immunoassays to detect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in respiratory specimens was evaluated as follows: 152 specimens were tested by TestPack RSV (Abbott), and 72 were tested by Ortho RSV ELISA (Ortho). Test outcomes were compared with those of virus isolation alone, direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) alone, or virus isolation and/or DFA. TestPack RSV versus virus isolation showed 91% sensitivity, 96% specificity, 93% positive predictive value (PPV), and 95% negative predictive value (NPV). TestPack RSV versus DFA showed 89% sensitivity, 97% specificity, 96% PPV, and 93% NPV. When TestPack RSV performance was compared with that of virus isolation and DFA, the sensitivity was 87% and the specificity was 100%. Ortho RSV ELISA versus virus isolation showed 88% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 79% PPV, and 93% NPV. Ortho RSV ELISA versus DFA showed 91% sensitivity, 88% specificity, 81% PPV and 95% NPV. When Ortho RSV ELISA performance was compared with that of virus isolation and DFA, the sensitivity was 86%, the specificity was 89%, the PPV was 86%, and the NPV was 89%. The accuracy of the TestPack RSV in combination with ease of performance and no need for specialized equipment or special skills make it an attractive alternative to DFA for rapid direct detection of RSV. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
