RESPI
(SARS-CoV-2 + INFLUENZA A/B + RSV + S. pyogenes)
qPCR Detection Kit
Description
The PCR test kit contains reagents to detect Influenza A/B virus, SARS-CoV-2, RSV and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. The peak incidence of diseases caused by these viruses occurs in autumn and winter and spring. Based on the symptoms, it is difficult to determine what the patient is suffering from. Only the PCR test allows a certain diagnosis.

More Information
Did you know...?
Currently, the phenomenon of increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the most serious medical, epidemiological and even economic problems. This situation is created by the overuse of antibiotics. The unjustified use of antibiotics is largely related to viral diseases, which, for example, in acute respiratory tract infections are the cause of about 80% of infections. Only the PCR test allows a certain diagnosis.
How the disease spreads?
The viruses can be spread in tiny droplets through the mouth or nose of an infected person when that person coughs, sneezes, talks, sings or breathes. These particles range in size from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols. Infection by inhaling the viruses can occur when you come into contact with a person suffering from COVID-19, INFLUENZA and RSV virus or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth. The viruses spread more easily indoors and in crowded places. Streptococcus pyogenes infection looks the same way as the listed viruses.
How the test is performed?
Virtually 100% certainty is provided by the PCR genetic test. The use of the RT-qPCR technique based on the detection of virus and bacterium genetic material enables sensitive and specific identification of the pathogen. Genetic material analysis using our reagents is fast and accurate. Ready-to-use reagents are included in the kit. It is enough for the lab technician to add each of them in the right proportion and the reaction is ready. Quickly, easily and professionally. Only two analyzes are needed to determine the cause of the disease.
Why is it worth doing a genetic test?
Is there a way to tell these diseases apart? Based on the symptoms, it’s difficult, because they are very similar - symptoms include: elevated temperature, cough, fatigue, headaches. However, there is a possibility to perform genetic tests, helpful in making the correct diagnosis. Only by determining the presence of the genetic material of a given pathogen we are able to know the cause of the disease.
What can be done after the test result?
Knowing the cause of the disease will make it easier for the doctor to respond with the correct diagnosis and prescription. Flu, COVID-19 , RSV illness or tonsillitis are treated differently. Only bacterial disease can be treated with antibiotics. Viral infections require the use of antiviral drugs.
