Freeze-dried Dengue Virus I/II/III/IV Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescence PCR)
[Packing Size]
20 tests/kit, 50 tests/kit
[Intended Use]
This kit is used for qualitative typing detection of denguevirus(DENV) nucleic acid in suspected patient’s serum sample to help diagnose patients with Dengue fever. The test results obtained by the kit are for clinical reference only. To make final diagnosis, comprehensive analysis of patient’s condition must be performed in conjunction with the patient's clinical manifestations and other laboratory findings.
Dengue fever (DF), which is induced by denguevirus (DENV) infection, is one of the most epidemic arbovirus infectious diseases. Its transmission medium includes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. DF is mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas. DENV belongs to flavivirus under flaviviridae, and can be classified into 4 serotypes according to surface antigen. Clinical manifestations of DENV infection mainly include headache, fever, weakness, enlargement of lymph node, leukopenia and etc., and bleeding, shock, hepatic injury or even death in severe cases. In recent years, climate change, urbanization, quick development of tourism and other factors have provided more rapid and convenient conditions for transmitting and spreading of DF, leading to constant expansion of epidemic area of DF. Therefore, establishment of easy, specific and rapid etiological diagnosis method of DENV has important significance for clinical diagnosis of DF.
