DiAGSure® Human Parechovirus Detection kit

Intent to use:
Human Parechovirus (HPeV), a member of the Picornaviridae family, is increasingly recognized as a significant cause of severe illness in neonates and young children. It is associated with a broad spectrum of clinical conditions, including neonatal sepsis-like illness, meningitis, encephalitis, gastroenteritis, myocarditis, and respiratory infections. Early symptoms may include fever, rash, irritability, poor feeding, seizures, and respiratory distress—often mimicking bacterial infections. Rapid and accurate detection of HPeV is critical for effective clinical management and avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use. The DiAGSure® Human Parechovirus Detection Kit is a highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay designed for the accurate detection of Human Parechovirus RNA in various clinical samples. It is an essential tool for enhancing diagnostic accuracy, supporting timely clinical decisions, and improving outcomes—particularly in cases of suspected viral encephalitis in neonates and immunocompromised patients.
