LAMP HUMAN SCID DETECTION KIT

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) is a condition in which there are no or abnormally low levels of T cells and/or low, high or normal numbers of B cells and NK cells. The prevalence is 1/50-100,000 newborns. In the absence of treatment, early signs of the disease begin to appear during the first few months of life and may include :

• Growth retardation
• Diarrhea
• Frequent infections
  • Ear infections
  • Lung infections
  • Candidiasis
  • Infections that persist despite treatment
• Pneumonia
• Meningitis
• Septicemia

Babies with SCID are protected by their mother's immune system for a short period of time after birth. Neonatal screening for SCID before symptoms appear makes it possible to perform a bone marrow transplant and thus save the newborn.
