1. A method for the viability detection of viruses with lymphotropism, comprising:
collecting a biological material from a patient, wherein said biological material has a low virus concentration therein;
forming an admixture of an equal amount of said biological material from said patient with a lymphocyte suspension from a healthy human subject;
stirring and incubating the admixture;
washing-out the lymphocytes in the admixture;
concentrating lymphocyte cytoplasm content within said admixture by removing lymphocyte membranes from the admixture; and
detecting, within said lymphocyte cytoplasm content, the presence or absence of the virus RNA or DNA,
wherein the presence of the virus RNA or DNA in the lymphocyte cytoplasm content, with an earlier non-detection of infection, indicates the preserved viability of viruses in said biological sample of said patient,
wherein the absence of the virus RNA or in the lymphocyte cytoplasm content indicates the loss of virus viability in said biological sample of said patient.
