FDA OKs new Ebola test for use in remote areas
UPI reports: "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved emergency use of a
new Ebola fingerstick test, which includes a reader that makes it
possible to obtain results outside a laboratory.
The DPP Ebola Antigen System makes obtaining test results possible in
remote areas with limited lab resources, such as those in African
nations affected by Ebola outbreaks, the agency said Friday in a news
release."
Comment: This is very encouraging news and certainly something that will make it easier for those countries in Africa to combat the outbreak.
