MERS Middle East Respiratory Syndrome UpEORF1a ORF1b Multiplex Detection and Differentiation RNA Detection Qualitative Test
Introduction
The MERS Middle East Respiratory Syndrome UpEORF1a ORF1b Multiplex Detection and Differentiation RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to identify the presence of the MERS virus in patients. MERS is a viral respiratory illness caused by the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which can lead to severe respiratory distress and has a high mortality rate. Early detection is crucial for effective management and containment of the virus, making this test an essential component of public health efforts.
What the Test Measures
