Clinical Relevance
Tropical fevers are a group of diseases that are prevalent in tropical regions of the world, caused by various infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Tropical fevers are a major public health concern and are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in affected populations.
Diagnosis of tropical fevers can be challenging due to the similarity of their clinical presentations. Symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, and rash are common to many tropical fevers, making it difficult to differentiate between them without laboratory testing.
Real-time PCR is a highly sensitive and specific laboratory technique that detects specific DNA sequences in clinical specimens. This technology has revolutionized the diagnosis of infectious diseases, including tropical fevers. With Real-Time PCR, clinicians can rapidly and accurately diagnose the cause of a patient's fever, enabling them to initiate appropriate treatment & improve patient outcomes.
