Background
Respiratory tract infection (RTI) is one of the most common diseases in humans, which can occur in any gender, age group and region. Most respiratory tract infections are caused by viruses, chlamydia or mycoplasma. These pathogens are diverse, and the clinical symptoms and signs they cause are relatively similar. Their clinical manifestations mainly include rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis and other symptoms. In severe cases, they can cause tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. However, infections caused by different pathogens vary in terms of treatment methods, curative effects and disease courses.
This product is intended for the qualitative detection of 21 types of respiratory pathogens in human pharyngeal swab samples, including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus), influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenoviruses, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), parainfluenza viruses, common coronaviruses, bocaviruses, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Group A Streptococcus, Bordetella pertussis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Chlamydia psittaci, and Chlamydia pneumoniae.This product can differentiate between the above-mentioned 21 pathogens in the sample, but cannot distinguish between specific subtypes/strains of the same pathogen.
