Hi-PCR® Enterovirus Probe PCR Kit

Enteroviruses are a genus of the family Picornaviridae and are a large and diverse group of small RNA viruses. To date, over 70 serotypes of Enterovirus have been isolated from man. Enteroviruses infect millions of people worldwide each year, and the infection can result in a wide variety of symptoms depending on the serotype of the enterovirus. Symptoms of infection may include, but are not limited to, mild respiratory illness, hand, foot and mouth disease, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, aseptic meningitis, and neonatal infections. PCR is an alternative method of Enterovirus diagnosis that allows for sensitive and specific detection of Enterovirus RNA from stool samples. Hi-PCR® Enterovirus Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect the 5?untranslated region (5?UTR) of Enterovirus with Internal Control in a single tube reaction.
