Description
ParoReal Kit Acanthamoeba T4 is a non-automated IVD test, based on real-time PCR, for the qualitative detection of DNA (18S rRNA gene) of Acanthamoeba species of genotype T4 (A. castellani, A. lugdunensis, A. mauritaniensis, A. polyphaga, A. rhysodes, A. royreba). T4 genotype is the most prevalent (approx. 86%) Acanthamoeba genotype causing keratitis worldwide. The test does not detect other Acanthamoeba genotypes (T3, T15, T11, and T5) also causing keratitis.
