Clinical Significance

Oropouche Virus RNA, Qualitative Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase (RT) PCR - This test is intended for the detection of Oropouche virus (OROV) RNA in serum or CSF from patients with exposure, signs or symptoms consistent with OROV infection. It can be used to help in the diagnosis of Oropouche fever infection during the acute phase of the disease, which is typically within 7 days post-symptom onset. Serological testing can be considered for confirmatory diagnosis during the convalescent phase of this disease (greater than 7 days). This molecular test cannot distinguish between closely related reassortant OROVs within the Orthobunyavirus genus including Madre de Dios Virus, ...
