Adenovirus ELITe MGB^® Kit

Human Adenovirus (ADV) is a virus belonging to the Adenoviridae family and it is a common cause of respiratory tract infections, gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis and other diseases, particularly in children, where it represents one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections. While infections are usually mild and self-limiting in immunocompetent individuals, ADV can cause severe, disseminated and potentially fatal disease in immunocompromised patients, especially hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients.

In these high-risk populations, quantitative molecular monitoring of ADV viral load is essential for the early detection of disease progression and to support timely antiviral treatment, helping to prevent serious complications. Adenovirus ELITe MGB® Kit is a real-time PCR assay designed for the detection and quantification of ADV DNA extracted from clinical specimens.

The assay is validated for use with ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® instruments for whole blood and plasma matrices.
