Article Synopsis
- This report presents the first national evaluation of two commercial PCR kits for detecting monkeypox virus (MPXV) DNA across multiple laboratories in Israel.
- The study involved testing standardized samples using the Novaplex and Bio-Speedy kits, comparing their performance against a reliable in-house assay.
- While all assays demonstrated similar sensitivity in detecting low viral loads, significant differences were noted in their Cq values and relative fluorescence, indicating that direct comparisons may not be accurate for diagnostic purposes.
