The Mpox Virus Detection Kit is a qualitative in vitro real time PCR test for the detection of DNA extracted from lesion material.
DNA can be extracted from acceptable specimen types including, but not limited to, lesion fluid on a dry swab, lesion fluid swab in viral transport media, lesion fluid on a slide, crust, or lesion roof.
The clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or coinfection with other viruses.
The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Negative results do not preclude monkeypox virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions.
Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
