The Chikungumya virus Antigen Test Kit is an in vitroqualitative immuno chromato graphic assay for the rapiddetection of Chikungumya virus antigens in human Serum ,plasma/ Whole Blood specimens. The test results areintended to aid in the diagnosis of acute Chikungumya virusinfection.This test is for in-vitro diagnostic use only.

SUMMARY

Chikungunya virus is a mosquito-transmitted alpha wirusbelonging to the Togaviridae family, first isolated inTanzania in 1952.Three lineages with distinct genotypicand antigenic characteristics have been identified.chikungunya virus is endemic to some parts of Africa andcauses recurrent epidemic waves in Asia and theIndiansubcontinent. At the end of 2013 the virus emerged in theAmericas.Human beings serve as the main chikungumyawirus reservoir during epidemic periods. In Africa, someanimals constitute the virus reservoir during non-epidemicperiods sustaining vims circulation. Clinical signs ofchikungumya virus infection include sudden onset fever andsevere arthralgia (joint pain) affecting mainly the extremitiesbut also the larger joints.Erratic,relapsing, andincapacitating joint pain is the hallmark of chikungunyavirus.Up to 12% of patients still have chronic joint painthree years after the onset oftheir illness. Qther symptomsof the infection (headache, fatigue and rash) are commonamong many arborviral infections including chikungumyavirus. There is no specific therapy for chikungunya virusinfection. Patients are symptomatically treated withantiinflammatory medication. The death rate is not high, butexcess mortality has been observed occurring together withlarger chikungumya vrus outbreaks.Diagnosis is based on the detection of virus by molecularmethods or by wims culture in the first days of infectionbefore an antibody response is evident. lgM antiChikungunya wirusis detectable two to three days at theonset of symptoms and persist for several weeks up tothree months.Chikungumya virus specific lgG appears soonafter lgM antibodies and persist for years.Chikungunya lgG/lgM rapid test kit is a new generationrapid lmmuno-chromatographic test using recombinantchikungumya viral antigens of both wild type and mutanttype to detect specific antibody response.
