While lesser known to the general public than influenza and COVID-19, RSV can be a serious illness. According to the European Health Management Association, RSV is the most common cause of hospitalization in infants and also causes a large number of hospitalizations among the elderly. RSV infection can lead to pneumonia, congestive heart failure and severe symptoms in those with preexisting conditions involving the lungs.
Virax's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, James Foster commented "the major industrialized economies are facing a triple threat this year through higher levels of RSV and influenza infections on top of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Giving people the ability to test for all three at home will improve the ability of healthcare systems to manage these infections in a timely manner. This is a welcome addition to our ViraxClear line of tests."
The RSV-Influenza-COVID Triple Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit is an in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative and differential detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from influenza A (including the subtype H1N1), influenza B, RSV and COVID-19 in nasal swab specimens from individuals with or without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect Flu A/B, RSV and /or COVID-19 infections.
