Molbio Diagnostics, the innovator of Truenat, a point of care Real-Time PCR platform, received Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) approval for its Truenat Scrub T test for Scrub Typhus, an infectious disease that can spread to humans through the bite of an infected chigger (larval mites).
Scrub Typhus affects approximately one million people in India every year. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and low mortality. Without appropriate treatment, the case fatality rate of scrub typhus can reach 30% or even higher.Real-Time PCR is the most accurate and sensitive method of diagnosis of infection with Scrub Typhus. With Truenat testing at point of care, the disease can be detected at an early stage efficiently and can be controlled effectively.
