Description:
The Biopanda Chikungunya IgG/IgM Rapid Test qualitatively detects IgG and IgM antibodies to Chikungunya in human whole blood, serum or plasma samples. This test is intended to be used as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with CHIK. Any reactive specimen with the Biopanda Chikungunya IgG/IgM Rapid Test must be confirmed with alternative testing method(s) and clinical findings.
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Infection commonly causes fever and joint pain and may also be associated with symptoms such as headache, muscle pain, fatigue and rash. As these symptoms can overlap with those of other mosquito-borne infections, laboratory testing can help support differential diagnosis.
Chikungunya antibody testing can help identify the immune response to CHIKV infection. IgM and IgG antibodies develop at different stages of the immune response, making combined IgG/IgM testing useful when investigating suspected Chikungunya infection.
Rapid antibody testing provides healthcare and laboratory professionals with a convenient screening method when timely results are required. Testing for both IgG and IgM antibodies within the same assay can provide useful information to support clinical assessment alongside patient history and other diagnostic findings.
The Biopanda Chikungunya IgG/IgM Rapid Test qualitatively detects IgG and IgM antibodies to Chikungunya in human whole blood, serum or plasma, with visually read results in 15 minutes. Reactive results should be confirmed using alternative testing methods and interpreted alongside clinical findings.
