Abstract
The reproducibility of AMPLICOR enterovirus PCR test results was deter mined with clinical samples of cerebrospinal fluid, serum, urine, and throat and rectal swabs. Among 608 samples from which duplicate aliquo ts were run simultaneously, only seven pairs gave discordant results, Among 104 samples from which duplicate aliquots were run in separate a ssays, no discordance was seen. Overall, the reproducibility of test k it results was 99% (705 of 712).
