PCR in diagnosis of diseases

It is well known that PCR is a powerful tool in criminal case. Recently, PCR is also applied in clinical diagnosis. PCR examination not only can identify the unique virus/bacteria infection fast in the early phase; but also can detect the hereditary disease. With PCR help, patient could be treat since the very early stage to prevent the further damage.


　　For instance, serious neural pain is the early symptom of VZV infection. The degree of pain depends on the neural inflammation. Blisters will not appear in the early treatment with anti-viral drugs. Treated with drug three days after blistering, the pain will be relieved but less effective. The earlier treatment can mitigate sequelae.

　　Prevent medicine is the global trend. The public is getting serious in managing health themselves. No matter daily care or disease therapy, early detection and treatment become more important in reducing damage and improving cure rate. Only PCR method can provide rapid, accurate clinical diagnosis for further treatment. TOPmer PCR Detection Kit, manufactured by SYNMOSA, is a serial of products that detect unique virus/bacteria. The first generation of TOPmer serial products includes the kits that examine unique bacteria (including MTB/M. bovis, C.trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, and S. pneumoniae) and virus (CMV, HSV and VZV). TOPmer PCR Detection Kit has very high sensitivity and specificity. The sensitivity of TOPmer MTB PCR Detection Kit can detect MTB infection only in 1 copy level. Comparing to the traditional diagnosis methods, false negative and false positive result has rare happened in PCR examination.
