【Clinical manifestations】
Approximately 90% of Legionellosis isα"' caused by Legionella pneumophila. The causatiβ>®ve agent of Legionella÷☆€♣ pneumonia is Legionella pneumoph↑βila, which accounts for 2 to 5% of communityφ÷-acquired pneumonia . The symptoms of Legionella ∏≥σdisease vary widely, from common cold and low™Ω fever to high fever,≠ with changes in mental status and respira∞•tory failure; atypical symptoms usually occu ☆r early in the disease,§ including headache, musclφ♥e aches, anorexia, fatigue, etc. . Diarrhea and o≤÷ther gastrointestinal sympt↕oms are approximately 20-40% . Among the atypica•"♣✘l cases of community-acquired pnφδα✔eumonia, Legionella di♦¶←sease is the most serious clinically₹←, and if not treated properly and in ti§✔me, it will progressi<♥↕vely worsen. Although there are few ext ☆rapulmonary symptoms, it can also cause myocar♥ ditis, pericarditis and artificial valve÷≤ endocarditis, as well as glomerulonephritis, pan×>£Ωcreatitis and peritonitis.
【Features】
This kit uses real-time ∑≥✔fluorescent PCR technology, takes the highly₹ conserved region of the Legionella pneumoph& σila genome as the tar±∑get region, designs specific primers anε©™d fluorescent probes, an±d then performs PCR amplification on the target s¶equence , while monitoring real-tim↕e expansion through Taqman fluorescent• probe technology. Accumulati÷↕on of augmentation products enables"§♥© qualitative detection of Norovi∞λrus nucleic acids in sampl¶₽↓es . The reaction system of this kit₹♣↔ contains dU-UNG enzyme anti-pollut♦∑→ion system to avoid false positiv§₩×e results .
