Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea among children worldwide. Scientists have described seven rotavirus groups (A to G). Only groups A, B, and C infect humans. Group A, which has multiple strains, causes the majority of childhood infections. Although human of all ages are susceptible to rotavirus infection, children 3 to 24 months of age account for the vast majority of severe infections. A person with rotavirus diarrhea often excretes large amounts of virus, which can spread readily through contaminated hands. Rotavirus, a hearty virus that survives easily in the environment, can also be transmitted through contaminated objects, water or food.

SD BIOLINE Rotavirus test is an immunochromatographic assay for the detection of Group A rotavirus in fecal specimens. The test utilizes two kinds of antibody in a solid phase sandwitch immunochromatography to detect group specific proteins, including the major inner capsid protein, present in Group A rotaviruses.

■ Convenient and clean test
■ Specimen: Fecal specimens
■ Sensitivity : 94%, Specificity 98.3% (vs. RT-PCR)
