Prof. Dr. Yong Phuworawan, a virologist who specializes in virology Reveal the good news that the center has developed a species specific catcher “Omicron” to allow for rapid detection. The sooner they are detected, the faster the spread of this species can be controlled.
Today (2 Dec) Prof. Dr. Yong Phuworawan, head of the Center specializes in clinical virology. Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Has come out to post a message on a personal Facebook stating that “determination of Omicron strains (Omicron) must be done quickly” with the message that
“The key factor in controlling covid-19 Omicron strains in our homes must be done quickly.
Diagnosis is therefore imperative to develop rapidly. together with other gene tests and if positive for other genes It negatively affects the highly genetically altered spike spleen gene. will be immediately suspected But in Thailand, most of the RT PCR assays are for the N gene, E gene and orf1ab or RdRp gene.
The center has now developed a probe specific to omicron strains. for the fastest diagnosis In the past, there were specific probes (probes) per alpha species. Delta species already It can be done simultaneously in a large number and takes the same amount of time as a normal RT PCR, which is about 4 hours, it can be said or assumed to be an omicron strain.
Verification required genetic decoding methods. especially in suspected cases from such screening as quickly A group of suspected and required omicron strains. is a group of patients who come from all foreign countries Completely vaccinated and infected People who have been sick and re-infected immunocompromised patients Patients with severe symptoms or outbreaks in clusters should be sampled in the cluster to check all clusters.
More genetic decoding for Thailand will need to be done. and there is random variation in the population. The budget in this section needs to be increased. for surveillance and control of outbreaks in Thailand And there is a need to do it quickly.”
