Cell Culture and Electron Microscopy for Identifying Viruses in Diseases of Unknown Cause

During outbreaks of infectious diseases or in cases of severely ill patients, it is imperative to identify the causative agent. This report describes several events in which virus isolation and identification by electron microscopy were critical to initial recognition of the etiologic agent, which w...
