1 product of WIZ is certified!
Congratulations, Wizbiotech's one product has received MDA approval from the Malaysian Medical Device Regulator : Enterovirus 71 IgM Antibody Test Kit (Colloidal gold method)!
Enterovirus 71, or EV71 for short, is one of the major pathogens that cause hand, foot and mouth disease.It is a frequent infectious disease that occurs mostly in infants and young children, but occasionally in adults. It can occur throughout the year, but is most common from April to September, with May to July being the peak period.After infection with EV71, most patients have only mild symptoms, such as fever and a rash or herpes on the hands, feet, mouth and other areas.A small number of patients may develop severe symptoms such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, neurogenic pulmonary edema and myocarditis, and in some cases the disease progresses rapidly and may even lead to death.
There are currently no specific anti-enterovirus drugs, but there is already a vaccine against enterovirus EV71, and vaccination can effectively stop the spread of hand, foot and mouth disease, reduce symptoms in children, and ease parents' concerns.However, early detection and treatment is still the best prevention and control strategy!
IgM antibodies are the first antibodies to appear after a primary infection with EV71 and are important for determining the presence of a recent infection.Wizbiotech's Enterovirus 71 IgM antibody test kit (Colloid gold method) was approved for sale in Malaysia and will help local medical institutions to rapidly test, detect and diagnose EV71 infection early, so that appropriate treatment and control measures can be taken to reduce the disease and avoid worsening.
