Description

Vitassay Adenovirus Resp. is a rapid, immunochromatographic, one step assay for the qualitative detection of Adenovirus from nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal wash or aspirate specimens. Simple and highly sensitivity immunoassay to make a presumptive diagnosis of Adenovirus respiratory infection INTRODUCTION Human adenoviruses (AdVs; Genus Mastadenovirus, Family Adenoviridae), which were first isolated from the respiratory tract by tissue culture are known to cause a wide range of human diseases, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, ocular, urinary, and central nervous system infections. Although AdV infections are typically acute, self-limiting and not fatal, they may have severe consequences for both immunocompromised patients and on rare occasions previously healthy infants. AdV can also cause localized epidemics in small and crowed populations, such as schools and military facilities. The incubation period usually ranges from 4 to 8 days but has been demonstrated to be as long as 10 days. Adenovirus may be transmitted by a wide variety of routes including droplet, fomites (including improperly sterilized medical equipment and contaminated ophthalmic solution), fecal-oral, and autoinoculation, including in healthcare settings. Community dwellings, such as military barracks, daycare centers, and nursing homes, have been associated with an increased risk for exposure, including outbreaks. Furthermore, inadequately chlorinated swimming pools and natural bodies of water have been linked to Adenovirus conjunctivitis outbreaks.
