The "Chikungunya RNA Detection by Real Time PCR - Serum" is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Chikungunya virus RNA in serum samples. Chikungunya virus is a mosquito-borne virus that can cause chikungunya fever in humans, leading to symptoms such as fever, joint pain, rash, and muscle aches. This real-time PCR test is highly sensitive and specific, enabling early and accurate detection of the viral RNA during the acute phase of infection. It plays a critical role in diagnosing chikungunya infection, facilitating timely patient management and appropriate public health measures to prevent further transmission. The real-time PCR method allows for quantitative measurement of the viral load, aiding in assessing the severity of infection and monitoring the response to treatment.
