| Rota/adeno Combi-- Dipstick and Cassette |
|||
| Rota-adeno stick and cassette is a rapid, qualitative, chromatographic immunoassay which simultaneously detects rotaviruses and adenoviruses in stool specimens. | |||
| Rotavirus is the primary causative agent of acute gastro-enteritis,
especially in children less than 2 years old. Its discovery in 1973 and
its association with infantile gastro-enteritis represented a very
important advance in the study of gastro-enteritis not caused by acute
bacterial infection. Rotavirus is transmitted by oral-faecal contact
with an incubation period of 1-3 days etc. In the case of hospitalised
children with acute enteritis, up to 50 % of the samples examined are
rotavirus positiveThe Adenovirus is the second most common cause of viral
gastro-enteritis in children (10-15%). This virus may also cause
respiratory diseases and, depending on the serotype, also diarrhoea,
conjunctivitis, cystitis,etc. At least 47 serotypes of adenovirus have
been described, all sharing a common hexon antigen.Serotypes 40 and 41
are the ones associated with gastro-enteritis, whose main symptom is
diarrhoea thatmay last between 9 and 12 days associated with
temperature and vomits. Rota-Adeno is a rapid, qualitative, chromatographic immunoassay which simultaneously detects rotaviruses and adenoviruses in stool samples. Rotaviruses and adenoviruses are responsible for the majority of pediatric diarrhea cases. Rapid diagnosis of viral diarrhea enables: 1) Immediate administration of appropriate therapy; 2) Rapid isolation of infected patients or carriers in order to limit outbreaks; 3) Significant decrease of cases of diarrhea of unknown origin. |

| 3. | Stir to homogenize the sample to release the virus into diluent. | ||
| 4. | Take out one strip and dip it into the small tube with the arrow pointing to the bottom. | ||
| 5. | Incubate the test at room temperature and read the test after 5-15 minutes. | ||
