Monkeypox Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR)
Monkeypox is an infectious viral disease that can occur in humans and some other animals. Symptoms include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that forms blisters and then crusts over. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms ranges from 5-20 days. The duration of symptoms is typically 2-4 weeks. There may be mild symptoms, and it may occur without any symptoms being known. The classic presentation of fever and muscle pains,followed by swollen glands, with lesions all at the same stage, has not been found to be common to all outbreaks. Cases may be severe, especially in children, pregnant women or people with suppressed immune systems.According to the WHO, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the preferred laboratory test given its accuracy and sensitivity.
Monkeypox Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR) is used for the qualitative detection of the monkeypox virus nucleic acid in specimens of lesion surface and/or exudate, roofs from more than one lesion, or lesion crusts from suspected cases.
