PCR is the abbreviation of polymerase chain reaction, it is a technology of amplifying DNA sequence in vitro, it can be widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus. It is a rapid detection method for infectious diseases, and has a high level of sensitivity and specificity. It has been widely used in the identification and drug resistance testing of tuberculosis in China.
The problems of tuberculosis control in China are: large group, multi drug resistant patients, and difficult management. Among them, the low positive rate of diagnosis is also a prominent problem. The overall positive rate of tuberculosis diagnosis in China is less than 50%, far lower than that in developed countries. In order to promote tuberculosis control, China has accelerated the popularization of molecular diagnostic techniques in recent years, among which GeneXpert technology and isothermal PCR amplification technology are more prominent.
China's tuberculosis tuberculosis control and prevention Market Research Report shows that China's PCR molecular detection equipment is mainly distributed in three city designated hospitals in large cities, and there are less distribution in the county-level city and two level hospitals and tuberculosis prevention institutions. It is expected that in the future, with the popularization and price decline of PCR equipment, PCR molecular detection equipment will gradually popularize and sink.
At present, most hospitals in China use PCR testing, which requires patients to pay and the cost is more expensive. Patients have little willingness to accept. However, the willingness of many regions has lowered the cost of PCR detection. A few areas have been promoting free testing of PCR. For example, the Jiangsu provincial CDC has issued free PCR devices to tuberculosis designated hospitals, and patients can enjoy free sputum examination, PCR testing and sputum culture.
According to the relevant data, there is a big gap in the molecular detection of tuberculosis in China's County medical institutions. The new diagnostic tools will be included in the field of medical insurance. This is a rare opportunity for enterprises to engage in new diagnostic technology of tuberculosis.
