Detail Description

MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) Multiplex Detection and Differentiation Test

MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) is a viral respiratory illness that was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It is caused by a coronavirus called MERS-CoV. The symptoms of MERS include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia, kidney failure, and death.

The MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) Multiplex Detection and Differentiation Test offered by DNA Labs India is a qualitative RNA detection test. It can detect and differentiate between three regions of the MERS-CoV genome: UpE, ORF1a, and ORF1b. This test is useful for the diagnosis of MERS in patients with symptoms or a history of exposure to MERS-CoV.
