After the New Year, the sounds of coughing and nose blowing appear and disappear in the surrounding area. As we enter the peak season of winter influenza, other upper respiratory tract infections, including COVID-19, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus infections, are also attacking us at the same time. No adults or children are immune!
A girl infected with adenovirus has red eyes and excessive eye discharge that scares her relatives
A 7-year-old girl surnamed Fang was infected with an adenovirus earlier, and her eyes became red and discharged. The girl’s parent, Mrs. Fang, said that when her daughter was doing homework, her eyes kept leaking yellow discharge like worms, “(the discharge) covered it up.” Eyes, affecting vision, the whole family is worried.” Mrs. Fang added that following she became ill, she still didn’t realize she was infected with adenovirus. “I thought my daughter was insomniac,” so she bought eye drops and kept cleaning her eyes. It wasn’t until she went to see a doctor in the evening that she realized she was infected with adenovirus.
Experts said that adenovirus is a group of viruses that infect human mucous membranes. The virus can cause respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, eye inflammation and rash.
Infant killer syncytial virus causes bronchitis and pneumonia in infants and young children
Earlier, there was a large-scale outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus in the mainland, which can easily cause severe cases in children aged 2 years and under. Therefore, it is also known as the “winter baby killer”. Experts said that respiratory syncytial virus is a single-stranded RNA virus that can cause respiratory diseases, such as infections of the trachea, lungs and middle ears, and can be spread through secretions and droplets. Symptoms of syncytial virus infection are usually mild, but once the condition becomes severe, it may lead to asthma, suffocation and even respiratory failure.
Virus “up and down attack” 5-in-1 rapid test reveals the source of infection
The symptoms of respiratory infections are very similar. To identify the type of viral infection earlier and more effectively, you can use the 5-in-1 rapid test method to detect the new coronavirus, influenza A and B, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus in one go. Helps take appropriate treatment and preventive measures early.
Three myths regarding quick tests
The more viruses that can be detected at one time, the better?
Not necessarily, it depends on whether the virus has sufficient viral load at the sampling site. Common rapid tests typically sample the anterior nasal cavity, but not every respiratory virus will show up in the nasal cavity. For example, if Mycoplasma pneumoniae infects the lungs, accurate sampling should come from deep expectoration, and rapid tests using prenasal sampling may not be effective in detecting Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
It would be best if a window on the test stick displays the infection status of all viruses to be tested?
There are different types of all-in-one test sticks on the market, some display results for all viruses in one test window, while others use multiple test windows to detect different viruses. The latter detection method prevents each test from being interfered by other virus tests because only one virus is detected per testing window. In contrast, using only one test window to test for multiple viruses has the opportunity to affect test results.
All the quick tests on the market are similar, so you can just pick one?
When choosing a rapid test, you need to pay attention to the product’s Limit of Detection (LoD). A lower detection limit means that the presence of the virus can still be detected when the viral load is low, the disease is mild, or there are no symptoms. This helps to initiate treatment early and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment to reduce the progression of the disease.
INDICAID analysis can detect viruses regardless of the amount of virus.
INDICAID analyzes respiratory rapid antigen testIn any case, whether the virus load is high or low, the presence of the virus can still be detected.The detection limit is obviously superior to other brands on the market, and is twice as accurate as similar products on the market., able to detect positive results earlier and more accurately than other brands. More accurate detection can also help doctors prescribe appropriate drugs in a timely manner, improve treatment effects, and reduce the risk of worsening conditions that may lead to hospitalization, ICU admission, or death.
