Resumen

SARMIENTO, LUIS et al. Aplicación de la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa para la identificación del virus sincitial respiratorio. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1997, vol.49, n.1, pp. 21-23. ISSN 1561-3054.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed in order to identify the respiratory syncytial virus by using the reference strain. The high sensitivity and specificity obtained show the PCR utility for detecting the RSV genoma and its application on the diagnosis.
