The IsopolloⓇ Dengue test kit has passed the clinical trial successfully with high sensitivity and specificity at the Guro Hospital of Korea University.
The IsopolloⓇ Dengue test kit, a diagnostic product for dengue fever, verifies the presence of dengue virus by qualitative analysis using reverse transcription and loop-mediated isothermal nucleic acid amplification. It has a high sensitivity in a shorter time than conventional molecular diagnostic methods.
Dengue fever is a disease that threatens nearly half of the world's population and has emerged as a major public health problem in more than 100 countries including Americas and Asia. Every year, more than half a million patients including children, are received medical treatment for severe dengue fever, and the prevalence of the disease is a huge burden on the public health system. The development of our kit is a major achievement for the identification and eradication of diseases. It is expected to be a major means of enabling WHO's goal to reduce dengue mortality by 50% and morbidity rate by 25% by 2020.
