Description de l'emploi
Within Sciensano's Viral Diseases Service, the National Reference Centre for measles, mumps and rubella carries out diagnoses of clinical samples suspected of infection with these diseases in Belgium. In addition, the centre is in charge of surveillance of these diseases in Belgium. Rubella and Measles are two diseases characterised by the appearance of a skin rash in infected persons. In addition, there are other viruses, which cause this such as chicken pox, fifth and sixth diseases, Epstein-Barr virus,... Diagnostics are starting to move more towards screening for different possible causative agents of the symptoms with which a patient presents (syndromic testing). This has the advantage of faster diagnosis. We therefore want to develop a test that focuses on diagnosing pathogens that cause skin rashes.
