Abstract:
While the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is ongoing, monkeypox has been rapidly spreading in non-endemic countries since May 2022. Accurate and rapid laboratory tests are essential for identifying and controlling monkeypox. Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine and the Korea Disease Prevention and Control Agency have proposed guidelines for diagnosing monkeypox in clinical laboratories in Korea. These guidelines cover the type of tests, selection of specimens, collection of specimens, diagnostic methods, interpretation of test results, and biosafety. Molecular tests are recommended as confirmatory tests. Skin lesion specimens are recommended for testing in the symptomatic stage, and the collection of both blood and oropharyngeal swabs is recommended in the presymptomatic or prodromal stage.
摘要:
虽然2019年冠状病毒病的大流行仍在继续,自2022年5月以来,猴痘在非流行国家迅速传播。准确和快速的实验室测试对于识别和控制猴痘至关重要。韩国实验室医学学会和韩国疾病预防和控制机构提出了在韩国临床实验室中诊断猴痘的指南。这些指南涵盖了测试的类型,标本的选择,采集标本,诊断方法,测试结果的解释,和生物安全。分子测试被推荐作为确认测试。建议皮肤病变标本在症状阶段进行测试,建议在症状前或前驱阶段收集血液和口咽拭子。
