Early Detection for Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever: Your Peace of Mind Matters
When health concerns about CCHF arise, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand that waiting for answers about potential Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever infection creates significant anxiety. Our CCHF RNA Detection Test provides the clarity and confidence you need during this stressful time, using South Africa’s most advanced diagnostic technology to deliver accurate, reliable results you can trust.
Understanding Your CCHF RNA Detection Test
This specialised test uses Real Time PCR technology to detect the genetic material (RNA) of the Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus in your blood, serum, plasma, or cerebrospinal fluid. Unlike antibody tests that show past exposure, our RNA detection identifies active infection early – often before severe symptoms develop. This early detection capability is crucial for timely medical intervention and better health outcomes.
The test is qualitative, meaning it clearly answers the question: “Is the CCHF virus present in my system?” This straightforward yes/no result provides the definitive answer you need to make informed health decisions with your healthcare provider.
Who Should Consider This CCHF Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, this test could provide critical health information:
- Sudden high fever, severe headache, or muscle pain after potential exposure
- Working with livestock or in agricultural settings in endemic areas
- Recent tick bites or contact with animal blood/tissues
- Healthcare workers exposed to potential CCHF cases
- Unexplained bleeding tendencies or bruising
- Nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain with fever
- Travel to rural areas where CCHF is known to occur
Early testing is particularly important as CCHF can progress rapidly, and timely diagnosis significantly improves treatment success.
