ROTAVIRUS-ADENOVIRUS

Rotavirus and Adenovirus are major causes of infectious gastroenteritis in infants and young children, also observed in adults. They are transmitted by fecal-oral contact. The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are watery diarrhoea and vomiting. The affected person may also have headache, fever, and abdominal cramps ("stomach ache"). In general, the symptoms begin 1 to 2 days following infection with a virus that causes gastroenteritis and may last for 1 to 10 days, depending on which virus causes the illness (Rotavirus 3 days and Adenovirus 5-8 days).

The CerTest Rotavirus-Adenovirus is a one step coloured chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Rotavirus and/or Adenovirus in stool samples.
