Brazilian H1N1 Institutos and should test, next week, the first test done in the country to diagnose infections by swine influenza. Fruit of a partnership of the Institute Oswaldo Cruz, Biomanguinhos, Carlos Chagas and Molecular Biology of Paran? (IBPM), the test is done with the same methodology of the tests imported - the real-time PCR. The cost of the national product accounts for about 10% of the market value of the test imported. But currently, the country does not pay for the kits - this is a global emergency, the product is donated by the World Health Organization
Once validated, the examination will be offered to the Ministry of Health "It is up to the government decision to incorporate it or not," said researcher Marco Aur?lio Krieger, of the Institute and the Carlos Chagas IBPM. Besides Krieger, were responsible for the project Marilda Siqueira, Laboratory of Respiratory Virus and Measles of the Institute Oswaldo Cruz, and Antonio Ferreira, the Institute Carlos Chagas.
Through the advice of the press, the president of Fiocruz, Gadelha Paulo, reported that the validation is a necessary step towards the implementation of the new exam. If it does not pass the certification, scheduled to be held next week, studies should continue. Krieger noted that the work for development of national testing began two months ago, soon after news of the first cases of the disease and the difficulty of the country receive the first imported kits.
Where in the world have confirmed the initial cases of swine flu, Brazil had to wait about 20 days to receive the kits for diagnosis. "With domestic production, gain greater autonomy. We can plan and adjust the volume of production testing in accordance with demand." Krieger, however, says that domestic production is important, even if it is necessary to pay for the product. "Mastering the technology is a strategic issue. It is important because it ensures autonomy and flexibility for the production of the test." Besides the kits, the institutes have developed materials and reagents used in testing. The information is the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo.
