| 2.3 Dengue Fever Detection | | Dengue fever and Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are viral illnesses spread by the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, day-biting mosquitoes that prefer to feed on humans. These diseases occur primarily in the tropics and are most common during the rainy season in areas infested with mosquitoes carrying the viruses. An estimated 50 to 100 million cases of Dengue fever occur globally each year with a further 2,450 million people at risk of infection. The case-fatality rate of DHF in most countries is about 5% with most fatal cases occurring in children and young adults. There are four distinct but closely related Dengue virus serotypes (of the genus Flavivirus) that cause Dengue fever; named DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. Infection with Dengue viruses produces a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral syndrome to severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease. Infection with one serotype does not provide cross-protective immunity to the other three types, so persons living in a Dengue-endemic area can be infected by the four Dengue virus serotypes during their lifetimes. As there is no specific treatment for Dengue fever it is essential to identify the strain of the infecting virus, immune status and predisposition of the patient as early as possible. | | | | Product Description | | The VDS DEN kit utilizes the TaqMan* fluorescent PCR technology. This method is sensitive and accurate, and all four Dengue virus serotypes can be detected with this kit. The kit provides all necessary reagents to carry out 50 reactions. Efficiency of the reactions can be monitored by the positive controls provided. | | | | For VDS kit ordering or technical details, please contact us. | | *TaqMan is a registered trademark of Roche Molecular System, Inc. | | | | Dengue Fever Detection for Clinical Diagnosis | | Catalogue No. | Item (Real-time PCR technology) | Kit Manual | | C02-01-1116 | Dengue Fever (All Serotypes) | | | C02-01-1117 | Dengue Fever (Serotype 1) | | | C02-01-1118 | Dengue Fever (Serotype 2) | | | C02-01-1119 | Dengue Fever (Serotype 3) | | | C02-01-1120 | Dengue Fever (Serotype 4) | | | C02-01-1121 | Dengue Fever (Serotype 1,2,3 and 4 mix) | - | | | | | |
