Dengue fever is an endemic epidemic of Thailand. Including countries in the tropical belt. Dengue virus (DENV) is a vector of Aedes mosquitoes. Outbreaks are found throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. And there is a heavy outbreak every 2-5 years. Statistics from January to June 2023 found more than 45,000 patients and 41 deaths. The Ministry of Public Health (Sor.) stated that this year there is a tendency to see patients almost 3 times higher than last year, and the symptoms of dengue fever are not the same as before. This makes early diagnosis quite difficult. Ministry of Public Health, therefore, together with network partners Organized an academic conference “Dengue Effective for Treatment and Prevention” to integrate the problem of dengue fever Improve disease prevention and treatment guidelines to reduce severity and death.
in the development of innovations to solve dengue fever problems Especially knowing the results quickly. in order to treat it in a timely manner Recently, Fujifilm (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has shown an innovative high-sensitivity dengue detection kit with Silver Amplification technology. That helps in diagnosing dengue fever in the early stages to prevent serious illness. Help reduce the death rate at the “ASEAN DENGUE DAY 2023″ event organized by the Department of Disease Control. Together with Kao Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Takeda (Thailand) Co., Ltd. cooperate with partners from both government and private sectors. This year, it was organized under the concept of “Moving Forward to Zero Dengue Death – stepping into Thai society. He didn’t die of dengue fever.”
FUJIFILM SILVAMP Dengue NS1 Ag Test Kit High Sensitivity Dengue Fever Test Kit
Mr. So Maruo, Managing Director of Fujifilm (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said that the latest innovations present a highly sensitive and highly accurate test kit with Silver Amplification technology. Our solution is built on the knowledge of imaging to help diagnose dengue at an early stage to prevent serious illness. For innovative Rapid Test, a highly sensitive test kit Offers Point of Care (POC) Antigen Test solutions that are easy to use anywhere, anytime. Help diagnose at an early stage With convenient and easy examination methods, can be done anytime, anywhere Without the need for specialized expertise or the use of other special tools. The result can be known within 15 minutes, thus helping doctors detect dengue patients faster and more accurately. Help reduce morbidity and death from dengue fever in a wide area. Drive early detection a
Mr. So Maruo MD, Fujifilm (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
The innovative ‘FUJIFILM SILVAMP Dengue NS1 Ag Test Kit’ is a highly sensitive test kit. using Silver Amplification technology Fujifilm’s proprietary, using Silver Halide Photography to magnify the particle size of Colloidal Gold up to 100 times, allowing virus detection at an early stage of infection with a sensitivity level of up to 94.3% and Specificity rate (specificity) up to 100%, including being able to detect all 4 serotypes of the virus, namely DEN-1, 2, 3 and 4.
Importantly, the test kit uses a very small amount of the patient’s blood. Results can be reported as quickly as 20 minutes, compared to current procedures that may take several days. The infection result readings can be viewed with the naked eye or with an automated reader. Improves convenience and efficiency in reading.
Easy to use Complete with test cassette and reagent tube The testing process starts with putting the test substance, i.e. whole blood, serum or plasma, into the tube and vigorously shaking it to mix. After that, drop the substance into the dropper hole on the cartridge. Then press the “Button 2” on the cartridge. Wait approximately 15 minutes for the “Go Next” bar next to it to turn orange, then press “Button 3” to begin the Silver Amplification process and within 1 minute the result will be displayed. climb This rapid display makes it possible to screen patients at the earliest stage of infection.
In addition, Takeda (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has also launched a website. www.KnowDengueTH.com to increase the channel of awareness of the matter ‘Dengue is scarier and closer than you think’ This website is one of the public awareness strategies under the cooperation on strengthening dengue control in Thailand, Dengue-Zero. able to view information
Dengue prevention movement recently National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) in collaboration with the Department of Disease Control. Research and development of the “Than Pandemic” platform to support proactive surveillance and control of dengue outbreaks for health workers. It has also been extended to the “Knowing” application to be a tool for people to use to track the situation of dengue fever outbreaks. Including other health risks Sponsored by Kao Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
Dr. Naiyana Sahavechphan, head of simulation and data-driven systems research team, NECTEC, NSTDA, said that he had worked with the Ministry of Public Health. The “Than Plaek” platform has been launched since 2016 to support planning for the prevention and control of dengue fever outbreaks. that is more efficient and up-to-date Which consists of 4 main applications, namely, Pandemic Survey to help collect survey data for mosquito larvae And report the abundance of mosquito larvae to the area in real time. catch up with the epidemic To present the situation of dengue fever together with the abundance of Aedes aegypti larvae on maps and tables according to the dimensions of interest. timely epidemic report To help summarize important datasets that are regularly used in the form of reports automatically and timely epidemic analysis to support data analysis in perspectives of interest
Platform “Than Pandemic”
“This is to make people aware and protect themselves from dengue fever. NECTEC research team, NSTDA and Department of Disease Control They have also jointly developed an extension of the epidemic into the “Kao Tan” application as a tool to notify the risk of dengue fever according to the location of the user at that time, along with advice on self-prevention. In addition, users can also view information in the form of a map from the district level to the overall country level. To notify acquaintances or plan to prepare protective equipment such as long-sleeved shirts and mosquito repellent before traveling to risky areas.
The Know-it-all app can also alert you to other health risks such as COVID-19 outbreaks. Situation of small dust, PM2.5, heat index that may lead to heat stroke including the weather Let the public know in one application. The public can download the application. “Know” to use at Play Store and App Store.
Dengue outbreak statistics in 2013 that are higher than previous years.
