Abstract

Rapid diagnosis is important for the prevention and control of infectious disease. Point-of-care testing (POCT) technology is simple, mobile, rapid, sensitive and accurate. In recent years, POCT has been widely used in the detection of infectious agents. This article reviews the development of POCT in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, focusing on immuno-chromatographic technology, microfluidic chip technology and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology. Key words: Infections diseases; Point-of-care testing; Immunochromatography; Lab-on-A-chip devices; Nucleic acid amplification techniques
