Rapid Rotavirus Antigen Test is an in vitro qualitative immunechromatographic assay for the rapid detection of rotavirus antigens in human stool specimen. The test results are intended to aid in the diagnosis of rotavirus infection and to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic treatment.
Rotavirus is a very contagious virus that causes diarrhea and vomiting in infants and young children. People who are infected with rotavirus shed the virus in their stool. If you get rotavirus particles in your mouth, you can get sick. Good hygiene, such as washing your hands regularly, is important.
If your child has stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in his or her stool, or a change in vowel movements after getting the rotavirus vaccine, contact your doctor and conduct antigen-detection immunoassays on stool specimens to rapidly detect rotavirus antigens and make a diagnosis.
