Develop a virus test kit within 15 minutes.

Department of Medical Sciences Ministry of Public Health Development of virus detection The Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT), which requires a high level of skill, is used for special confirmation. Development of test kits to detect IgM and IgG antibodies or specific immunization against virus.

Dr. Sujin Kanjanapai, Director-General of the Department of Medical Sciences, revealed that the virus infected the virus. There are mosquitoes that carry disease to people by mosquito bites. Symptoms such as rash, conjunctivitis, and joint pain are also common. Infection is also spread by mother-to-child and sexually transmitted infections. There is evidence of viral infection with neonatal seizures. And neurological symptoms. There are 1,114 cases and 557 cases of viral infections in 2016 and 2016, respectively. In 2016 (as of May 7, 2018), 73 people were infected. There are no medicines and vaccines. Department of Medical Sciences It has been developed continuously in the laboratory by 2015 is a real time RT-PCR genetic testing, which increases the amount of DNA at a time. In a hurry The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Development of IgM and IgG Antibodies for Newborns and Mothers It can respond to the incidence of viral infections in the country. At that time The results of laboratory tests are important for controlling the disease to not spread widely.

Director-General of the Department of Medical Sciences Added that The Department of Medical Sciences, the Department of Medical Sciences, tested C6 virus isolates and the Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT), which is a sophisticated and sophisticated method of screening, is used for special confirmation. Therefore, the development of test kits has been developed. Immunochromatography To detect IgM and IgG antibodies to virus. The result is within 15 minutes. Has performed the performance test and has been ISO 13485: 2016 certified.

          "In the past, the Department of Medical Sciences provides diagnostic services for two types of virus infection: 1. Genetic testing of virus. Real-time RT-PCR can be achieved within 8 hours. 2. IgM and IgG antibody tests against sera in serum samples by ELISA. The All levels can be sent to the Institute of Public Health. Department of Medical Sciences Ministry of Public Health In the outskirts of the country, samples can be sent to 14 medical centers located in different regions of the country. However, the best way to prevent the disease is to prevent mosquito bites. And eliminate mosquito breeding sites. Both in and out of the house by wearing clothes. Avoid mosquito bites, bedwetting, and avoid traveling to areas with outbreaks. If you return from an outbreak area. The symptoms are fever, conjunctivitis, headache. The symptoms will appear after the patient is infected within 3-12 days, immediately see the doctor and travel history to the doctor, "said Sukhum.
