When they cultured sterile cell lines of any infectious agents and removed fetal bovine serum, FBS, the cells still died. This death mimics the cytopathic effect, CPE, which was always seen as a sign of viral infection.
Turns out that removing FBS which provides essential nutrients can cause cell death it looks just like a viral attack this raises a big question is viral isolation truly reliable scientists are reevaluating how we detect viruses there's a lot that we still need to figure out but one thing is clear we need better methods to confirm viral presence.
Meaning that you would be better off eating nutritious meals of beef and eggs to provide essential nutrients than to go get a viral examination. Who'd'a thunk it?
