As most viral infections are self-limiting and there is no specific treatment for most of them, laboratory diagnosis has not been a focus for improvement, particularly in public sector until the current pandemic of COVID-19. During this pandemic, the vital need for well-equipped clinical virology laboratories is urged. The aim of this work is to highlight the various diagnostic methods and to describe the current situation of clinical virology diagnostics in Sudan.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Sudan Journal of Medical Sciences (SJMS)}, author={M Y Elmadhoun, Wadie and Abuzeid, Nadir and Bedri, Shahinaz and Ahmed, M H}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={455–460} }
