Rotavirus Antigen Rapid Test Cassette（GICA）

The Rotavirus Antigen Rapid Test Cassette（GICA）is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay method used for qualitative detection of Rotavirus Antigen in human stool specimen to help diagnose Rotavirus infection.

Rotavirus is the primary causative agent of pediatric gastroenteritis and diarrhea worldwide. The improvement of food, water, and hygiene has done nothing to decrease the incidence of rotavirus disease. Almost every child on the planet may get infected by age 5. Scientist say that families of the 900,000 young children around the world who die each year from Rotavirus. Many of them get it between December and April in the temperate climates of the northern hemisphere.

Most of these deaths occur in developing countries. The infection usually begins with fever. Soon the little one begins to vomit and has a nasty tummy-ache. The vomiting goes away, following by watery diarrhea that lasts from 3 to 9 days. Most of the time, kids recover with little difficulty. Sometimes, severe dehydration results. The extreme dehydration that can be caused by rotaviruses is second only to the dehydration caused by cholera. The infection starts suddenly and lasts for an average of four to six days.
