3 Why use molecular methods? When conventional methods are: Too cumbersome or slow (e.g., virus isolation) Too insensitive (asymptomatic HIV, viral infection of central nervous system, etc.) Not available (unculturable agents: HPV, HCV) When did we make changes? Clinical need New platforms Expansion of menu Change in performance 3
