SUMMARY:

COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the world has caused a large infected population manifesting itself mainly as a respiratory infection. To contain the spread of the virus, WHO urgently called for an extension of screening and testing; thus, a quick and simple diagnostic method is needed. However, studies conducted at various research centers in China, Europe, and the United States indicate that laboratory results can provide clinical staff with many useful markers. Molecular methods are more accurate, but the molecular method most used today (PCR) requires a long time to perform and requires sophisticated and costly instrumentation, making it difficult to apply at the point of care, especially in developing countries. Studies conducted present the development of a molecular diagnostic methodology that allows virus detection through reverse transcription reaction followed by isothermal loop-mediated amplification (RT-LAMP). RT-LAMP is an important tool for the molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases, with great potential for point-of-care applications for both diagnostics and epidemiological studies, especially in developing countries.
