In order to shorten the time required for the detection of enteroviruses in stool specimens, an 18-h immunoperoxidase test combining low-speed centrifugation and the use of a group specific anti-VP1 monoclonal antibody (5-D8/1, Dako) was developed. This rapid culture assay (RCA) was compared blindly
