The test is intended for the qualitative detection of antigens of SARS-CoV-2 viruses, influenza A and B as well as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the latter being a highly contagious upper respiratory virus that mainly infects children. Its packaging is designed to be easy to use and painlessly provides the result with \u0026gt;97% accuracy, within 15-20 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The package contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003e1 test cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 1 swab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 1 extraction tube with dropper cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 1 buffer solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 1 reagent case Contains instruction sheet in Greek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), IgM Antibodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRespiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a virus that causes respiratory tract infections in patients of all ages and is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections during infancy and childhood. It is distributed worldwide and mainly causes epidemic respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. It is characterized by its excellent transmissibility, with more than 50% of all children by the age of one year having already been exposed to the virus and almost all children having been infected by the virus by the age of 2-3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSpecifically, RSV attacks the epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract and leads to the formation of characteristic large syncytia (i.e., the union of many cells). It is possible that the spread of the virus in the tissues occurs by cell-to-cell fusion. The necrosis of these syncytia creates inflammatory secretions and obstruction of the respiratory tract, which ultimately lead to the occurrence of various problems. In addition, the descent of the viruses into the lower respiratory tract can lead to edema and collapse of the alveoli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIt has been observed that in most patients, infection with respiratory syncytial virus causes only mild symptoms, often difficult to distinguish from those of the common cold and other mild respiratory infections. 75% of all these infections in infants, occur harmlessly as rhinitis or nasopharyngitis, while more rarely complications, such as otitis, may be observed. In some cases, respiratory syncytial virus can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia, which lead to severe respiratory disease that may require hospitalization. However, the occurrence of more severe forms of the disease is more likely to occur in immunocompromised patients or premature infants. Natural infection with respiratory syncytial virus does not induce protective immunity, and thus people can be infected and become ill multiple times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn general, there is an annual pattern of RSV outbreaks in temperate climates during the winter months. In tropical climates, infection is more common during the rainy season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"THINKPHARMACY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42164764901562,"sku":"","price":3.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1543\/2378\/files\/covidtest.jpg?v=1720597153","url":"https:\/\/thinkphirmacy.com\/en\/products\/cordx-flu-a-b-covid19-antigen-self-test","provider":"Think Pharmacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
