Tz Check Multiple Rapid Test for Respiratory Viruses 1pc

With a nasopharyngeal swab, it can diagnose from the start which virus caused it. This is a product particularly useful for children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with chronic diseases or immunosuppression.

The laboratory-quality Multiple Respiratory Virus Detection Test TZcheck helps in an almost complete control of the cause of infection, protecting the patient himself from unnecessary use of antibiotics and his relatives from transmission of infection, especially if they belong to vulnerable population groups.

In many cases, the use of a test that only detects Influenza, Coronavirus and RSV (Syncitis) is not enough to find the pathogenic virus, resulting in hypothetical causes or the use of antibiotics or the use of more diagnostic tests, increasing both the cost and the time of diagnosis. Parainfluenza virus (PIV) is a common virus that infects most people during childhood. It is the second most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children, after RSV, and of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants under six months of age. Transmission occurs by direct person-to-person contact or by large droplet spread.

Incubation period 3-6 days. It is endemic year-round and immunity is short-lived. Infections range from mild to life-threatening, such as laryngitis, bronchiolitis, or pneumonia.

It is associated with 10% of acute respiratory infections in healthy adults. Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) is ubiquitous and by the age of five, almost everyone has been exposed to it. However, reinfections occur throughout adult life. Transmitted by droplets and contact with contaminated objects. Incubation period similar to RSV, i.e. 3-7 days.

As a human pathogen, it has been underestimated. In children and infants, it has been reported as a notable cause of infections, such as bronchiolitis (59%), laryngitis (18%), asthma (14%), and pneumonia (8%).

As with other viruses, the severity of infection increases with age and with comorbidities (cardiopulmonary disease) or immunosuppressive conditions. The most common diagnoses associated with adult hospitalizations with hMPV infection are exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and pneumonia. Adenoviruses cause a wide range of clinical syndromes, including asymptomatic disease, conjunctivitis, the common cold, sore throat, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, croup, and rarely pneumonia. The incubation period is usually 4-8 days.

They usually present with symptoms such as cough (cough with adenovirus pneumonia is often confused with whooping cough), runny nose, sore throat (non-streptococcal pharyngitis), fever, and fatigue. While most infections are mild and self-limiting, severe cases can occur, particularly in young children, the elderly, the immunocompromised, and individuals with underlying cardiorespiratory disease.

Influenza A and B cause 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide each year. The disease often has an abrupt onset and ranges from asymptomatic infection to primary viral pneumonia that progresses to death. Symptoms include fever, chills, cough, headache, diffuse myalgia, and upper respiratory tract infection. Gastrointestinal symptoms are common in children. The incubation period is 1-4 days

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a major cause of morbidity in children and mortality in the elderly and immunocompromised. Studies have found that 40% of all lower respiratory tract infections in the first year of life are caused by RSV. It usually causes an upper respiratory tract infection and then resolves, but in 25-40% of cases, the infection progresses to the lower respiratory tract, often manifesting as pneumonia or bronchiolitis. RSV incubation period 3-7 days

The incubation period is the time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. This period is widely reported because it is useful in surveillance and infection control, such as conducting diagnostic tests.

For most respiratory viruses, at least 90% of cases will develop symptoms between half and twice the average incubation period
