Enterovirus 71(EV71) IgM Rapid Test Kit is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human Enterovirus 71(EV71) IgM antibodies in human serum and venous whole blood. The human enterovirus 71 (EV71), the newest member of Enteroviridae, is a common cause for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and is sometimes associated with severe central nervous system diseases. Infections usually peak in June and July. An infection with EV71 can be both asymptomatic or may cause diarrhoea and rashes. Children under five are at higher risk to develop a serious infection than adults and older children.
