A member asked:

What are the tests for adenovirus infections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numerous : But generally not practical clinically. Usually this is retrospective, based on antibody titer rises, but increasingly PCR testing is becoming more available, and there is also viral isolation and identification, but this is very expensive. Usually a clinical diagnosis backed up by retrospective analysis.
