BioPerfectus CoxA16 & EV71 Real Time PCR Kit

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is an acute infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. It is most common in preschool children, especially those under three years old. Transmission primarily occurs through close contact with infected or asymptomatic carriers, entering the body via the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The most common clinical manifestations include macules, papules, and vesicular lesions on the hands, feet, and oral cavity. A small proportion of cases may develop complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, pulmonary edema, and circulatory disorders. Coxsackievirus A16 (CoxA16) and Enterovirus 71 (EV71) are the major causative agents of HFMD, and severe cases involving brainstem encephalitis and neurogenic pulmonary edema are the leading causes of mortality.

The CoxA16 & EV71 Real Time PCR Kit is a real-time PCR-based assay designed for the in vitro qualitative detection of Coxsackievirus A16 (CoxA16) and Enterovirus 71 (EV71) RNA obtained from human throat swab samples. The assay is intended for laboratory research applications.
