(Han Jinxu Wang Ning, a reporter from the Peoples Daily Health Client) The genetic test can be detected within 2-4 hours.On November 8th, the Inspection Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University established the first outpatient gene testing center in Anhui Province, and introduced fast nucleic acid testing technology to target pneumonia, chlamydia, adenovirus, type A Virus, B-influenza virus, and respiratory pathogenic pathogens and other common respiratory pathogens are tested.
On November 9, patients were tested at the Outpatient Gene Testing Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University.Interviewees confessed
"Our genetic testing technology can inform the patients infected with mycoplasma within 2 hours, and can issue clear diagnosis results within 4 hours without waiting for a few days.It reduces uncertainty.Jiang Runqiu said that the autumn and winter seasons are the high incidence of acute respiratory tract infections. Recently, the number of cases of mycoplasma respiratory infection in Anhui Province has increased, and the newly established outpatient gene testing center has come in handy.
"Genetic testing center mainly collects the patients throat sample and uses fast nucleic acid testing technology to analyze the gene sequence of the pathogen. This method can be within 3 to 4 hours.The report issued a significant shortage of more than 24 hours required for traditional testing methods.Patients with fever quickly determined the source of infection. "Jiang Runqiu further explained.
"Compared with the traditional antibody detection, genetic testing can provide clear reports in the early stage of infection to avoid the window period of antibodies."It is explained that after receiving an exogenous microorganism, the human body needs at least 2 to 3 days to form effective body fluid immunity and produce antibodies.During this window period, traditional antibody detection cannot provide accurate results, but genetic testing technology can overcome this point. As early as the early stage of infection, they can confirm whether the patients body is infected with chlamydia or mycoplasma infection.
Jiang Runqiu reminded that during the high incidence of acute respiratory tract infections, if there is a high fever, especially the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ° C, it is accompanied by cold wars or sweating, cough, sore throat, nasal congestionBe sure to seek medical treatment in time.
