Rapid diagnosis of viral infections and application to infection control.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapid and accurate detection of viral infections is crucial in clinical settings, yet traditional quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) methods, though highly accurate, are typically laboratory-based and require significant time and resources, limiting their effectiveness in point-of-care environments. In this study, we applied a rapid qPCR method, originally developed for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, to a range of viral infections. The primary aim was to establish a novel diagnostic platform that combines mobile qPCR with multiplex detection for rapid, chairside application in clinical settings, and to explore its potential for detecting environmental contamination.

Methods

The viral infections targeted for rapid diagnosis included her
