Rapid test for simultaneous detection of Norovirus, Rotavirus and Adenovirus antigens in stool samples EFFICIENT • Easy handling, 3-step test • Results in 15 mn RELIABLE High performances : • Sensitivity : 96% (Norovirus), 100% (Rotavirus), 100% (Adenovirus) • Specificity : 100% (Norovirus), 98% (Rotavirus), 100% (Adenovirus) LONG SHELF-LIFE 25 months, 2-30°C (room temperature storage) THE SOLUTION Rotavirus, Norovirus and Adenovirus have been reported as the common viral pathogens of acute gastroenteritis. These viruses are transmitted by feco-oral path. The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are diarrhea and vomiting. The affected person may also have headache, fever, and abdominal cramps. Since most viruses causing gastroenteritis cannot be isolated in cell culture, direct visualization in stool specimens by microscopy is still the mainstay of diagnosis. Although, the introduction of more sensitive techniques for antigen detection in stool, based on immunoassay, has improved the diagnosis and makes it easier and more specific.
