IVD reagent Material Infections Disease

he hepatitis C core antigen is a viral protein. Since the core antigen is part of hepatitis C virus, it can usually be found in the bloodstream two weeks after infection. Since HCV core antigen testing is simpler and less expensive than viral-load testing, some experts suggest using it in resource-limited settings.

human immunodeficiency virus (HIV )is a virus that attacks the human immune system. There is no cure for HIV. Unlike some other viruses, such as the common cold, HIV cannot be cleared from the body. However, there are treatments available. Talk to your healthcare provider and see below for more information

we could call it Tp. Tp refers to syphilis, is a sexually transmitted disease caused by treponema pallidum infection, can be transmitted through sexual contact, blood, mother and child.

Rotavirus (RV)

Rotavirus is a virus that causes diarrhea and other intestinal symptoms. It’s very contagious and is the most common cause of diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide. If you look at a rotavirus through a microscope, it has a round shape. The Latin word for wheel is “rota,” which explains how the virus got its name.

Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) 

EV71 virus causes a range of effects from asymptomatic infection and mild HFMD to neurological disease with severe central nervous system complications and cardiopulmonary failure. In severe cases mortality rates can be high, especially in children aged 5 years and younger. EV71 is considered to be the most severe neurotoxic enterovirus and severe EV71 disease has become a major public health problem in China. 

Influenza A is the most common cause of influenza, flu pandemics, and most epidemics. Influenza A virus causes influenza in birds and some mammals.

Influenza B also causes seasonal epidemics but it is only known to infect humans and seals. This limited host range is apparently responsible for the lack of pandemics caused by influenza B.

Cytomegalovirus (pronounced sy-toe-MEG-a-low-vy-rus), or CMV, is a common virus that infects people of all ages. Over half of adults have been infected with CMV by age 40. Most people infected with CMV show no signs or symptoms. When a baby is born with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, it is called congenital CMV.

The herpes simplex virus is categorized into 2 types: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).

HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral-to-oral contact to cause oral herpes (which can include symptoms known as “cold sores”), but can also cause genital herpes.

HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital herpes.

Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections are lifelong.

Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) are whole-blood tests that can aid in diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. They do not help differentiate latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) from tuberculosis disease. Two IGRAs that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are commercially available in the U.S.

Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), also known as camel flu, is a viral respiratory infection caused by Middle East respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Symptoms may range from none, to mild, to severe. Typical symptoms include fever, cough, diarrhea, and shortness of breath.The disease is typically more severe in those with other health problems

Hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a rare cause of hepatic inflammation. Although chronic infection and viremia have been documented, histologic evidence is rare, and serum aminotransferase levels are usually normal. At this time, reporting of HGV to the Minnesota Department of Health would be treated as anecdotal.

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys. It was later identified in humans in 1952 in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania.

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a rare and deadly disease in people and nonhuman primates. The viruses that cause EVD are located mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. People can get EVD through direct contact with an infected animal (bat or nonhuman primate) or a sick or dead person infected with Ebola virus.
