Comparison of the positive results obtained with virus culture and the two molecular assays. A) In each field of the Venn diagram, the number of positive specimens is given. *All virus culture-negative/PCR-positive specimens were resolved as true positives by a commercial DNA extraction and real-time PCR. B) The Cp values obtained by real-time PCR in 27 adenovirus-positive specimens following homogenization- or nucleic acid extraction-based protocols displayed a correlation of 97.6% (solid line). The dashed line represents a correlation of 100%. The dotted oval highlights Cp values obtained with specimens that were PCR-positive but culture-negative.
