Abstract: Objective To establish a rapid differential diagnostic method for five respiratory viruses (influenza A virus, influenza B virus, H1N1/H3N2 subtype influenza virus and measles virus). Methods We designed and synthesized specific probe primers for the five respiratory viruses respectively. Based on the latest microfluidic chip technology, the specificity, sensitivity and repeatability of the detection system of probe primers was evaluated by a rapid fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument with the rapid reaction system and innovative temperature control module, and the method was used to test some clinical samples.Results The probe primers of five viruses designed and synthesized have high specificity and sensitivity. Virus nucleic acid was extracted in 5 minutes, and the detection results were obtained in 30 minutes and had good repeatability. Conclusion A rapid and quantitative detection method for five respiratory viruses was established, which was expected to be used in the differential diagnosis and rapid detection of unknown respiratory virus infection.
