Human Parainfluenza virus-1-4 (hPIV)

Human Parainfluenza Viruses (hPIV types 1–4) are common causes of respiratory tract infections, particularly in infants, young children, and the elderly. These viruses are associated with a range of illnesses including croup, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. Accurate detection is essential for managing outbreaks and guiding clinical care.
hPIV PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology offer a sensitive and specific method for detecting viral RNA from hPIV types 1, 2, 3, and 4 in human samples together with other respiratory pathogens. These molecular diagnostics tools provide accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked versions for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) format, these multiplex PCR assays provide efficient, cost-effective, and reliable solutions for detecting common respiratory viruses in clinical and public health laboratories from clinical samples, and are suitable for applications such as respiratory virus research and screening, epidemiological studies, pediatric infection research, and public health surveillance.
