Enterovirus

The Enterovirus detects the presence of enterovirus RNA (genetic material) in a patient's sample, often obtained from a nasal or throat. Enteroviruses can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious conditions like poliomyelitis and meningitis. The test works by converting entrovirus’s viral RNA into DNA through the RT PCR process. A positive result means the virus is present, while a negative result shows no virus was detected at the time of testing. It also aids in distinguishing enterovirus infections from other respiratory or neurological conditions that may present with similar symptoms, helping to prevent complications.
