This kit is used for in vitro qualitative detection of group A rotavirus or adenovirus antigens in stool samples of infants and young children.
Epidemiology
Rotavirus (Rv) is an important pathogen causing viral diarrhea and enteritis in infants worldwide, belonging to the reovirus family, is a double-stranded RNA virus. Group A rotavirus is the main pathogen causing severe diarrhea in infants and young children. Rotavirus with the virus excreted feces, through the fecal route infected patients, the proliferation of cells in the duodenal mucosa of the children affected the normal absorption of salts, sugars and water in the intestines of the children, resulting in diarrhea.
Adenovirus (Adv) belongs to the Adenovirus family. Type 40 and 41 of Group F can induce diarrhea in infants. They are the second most important pathogen in viral diarrhea in children, next to rotavirus. The main transmission route of adenovirus is fecal-oral transmission, the incubation period of infection is about 10 days, and the main symptoms are diarrhea, accompanied by vomiting and fever.
