Comparison of Diagnosis Methods for RNA Viruses:
Virus Symptoms Common Diagnostic
Tests
Additional Tests
Orthomyxovirus
(Influenza virus)
Fever, cough, sore
throat, muscle aches,
runny nose
Rapid influenza
diagnostic test
(RIDT): Detects viral
antigens directly from
respiratory secretions.
Viral culture:
Confirms specific
influenza strain, may
take longer.
Paramyxovirus
(Measles, mumps,
parainfluenza virus)
Measles: Fever, rash,
cough, conjunctivitis;
Mumps: Swollen
parotid glands, fever;
Parainfluenza:
Respiratory
symptoms
IgM antibody
test:Detects recent
infection by
identifying IgM
antibodies.
IgG antibody test:
Detects past infection
by identifying IgG
antibodies. Viral
culture (measles,
mumps) or PCR
(parainfluenza) for
confirmation.
Rubella Virus Mild rash, fever,
swollen lymph nodes
IgM antibody
test:Detects recent
infection.
IgG antibody test:
Detects past infection.
PCR may be used for
confirmation in
specific cases.
Arbovirus (Dengue,
Zika, West Nile
virus)
Varies depending on
the virus (fever,
headache, rash,
muscle aches, etc.)
IgM antibody
test:Detects recent
infection.
PCR test: Detects
viral RNA for rapid
diagnosis and specific
strain identification.
Viral culture can
confirm infection but
takes longer.
Rhabdovirus
(Rabies virus)
Flu-like symptoms
progressing to
neurological decline
Fluorescent
antibody test
(FAT):Detects viral
antigen in brain tissue
or saliva (post-
mortem).
PCR test: Detects
viral RNA in saliva or
cerebrospinal fluid.
Hantavirus
(Hantavirus
pulmonary
syndrome)
Fever, muscle aches,
fatigue, followed by
severe respiratory
distress
Enzyme-linked
immunosorbent
assay
(ELISA):Detects
IgM antibodies for
recent infection.
PCR test: Detects
viral RNA for rapid
diagnosis. Serological
tests can confirm past
infection later.
Picornavirus
(Poliovirus,
enterovirus,
rhinovirus)
Varies depending on
the virus (fever,
respiratory
symptoms, rash, etc.)
Viral culture:Isolates
and identifies specific
virus.
PCR test: Detects
viral RNA for rapid
diagnosis of some
viruses (e.g.,
enterovirus 71).
Serological tests may
be used for specific
viruses (e.g.,
poliovirus).
Coronavirus (SARS-
CoV-2, MERS-CoV)
Varies depending on
the virus (fever,
cough, fatigue, etc.)
PCR test: Detects
viral RNA from
respiratory secretions
for rapid diagnosis.
Antibody tests: IgM
and IgG tests can
detect recent and past
infection, but timing
is crucial for
interpretation.
HIV Initially flu-like
symptoms,
progressing to
chronic immune
suppression
Rapid HIV
tests:Detect HIV
antibodies or antigens
for quick screening.
Confirmatory HIV
tests: ELISA and
Western blot to
confirm HIV
infection and
differentiate between
HIV-1 and HIV-2.
Hepatitis Virus
(Hepatitis A, B, C)
Varies depending on
the virus (fatigue,
nausea, jaundice, etc.)
Liver function
tests:Assess liver
damage.
Serological tests:
Detect viral antigens
or antibodies for
specific viruses
(Hepatitis A
IgM/IgG, Hepatitis B
surface
antigen/antibody,
Hepatitis C antibody).
Viral load testing for
Hepatitis B and C to
monitor infection and
treatment response.
Comparison of Prevention and Treatment for RNA Viruses:
Virus Prevention Treatment
Orthomyxovirus (Influenza
virus)
Vaccination: Annual
influenza vaccine
Antiviral medications:
Oseltamivir, zanamivir, etc.,
can shorten illness duration
recommended for most
people.
and severity if taken early.
Supportive care (rest, fluids)
is crucial.
Paramyxovirus (Measles,
mumps, parainfluenza
virus)
Vaccination: MMR vaccine
protects against all three
viruses.
Measles: Supportive care.
Mumps: Supportive care,
antiviral medications may be
used in some cases.
Parainfluenza: No specific
treatment, supportive care is
key.
Rubella Virus Vaccination: MMR vaccine
protects against measles,
mumps, and rubella.
No specific treatment:
Supportive care (rest, fluids)
is recommended.
Arbovirus (Dengue, Zika,
West Nile virus)
Mosquito bite prevention:
Use insect repellent, wear
long sleeves and pants, use
mosquito nets.
Vaccination:Available for
some arboviruses (e.g.,
yellow fever, Japanese
encephalitis).
No specific treatment:
Supportive care (rest, fluids,
pain management) is crucial.
Antiviral medications may be
used for some viruses (e.g.,
dengue).
Rhabdovirus (Rabies virus) Vaccination: Pre-exposure
prophylaxis (PrEP) for high-
risk individuals, post-
exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
for anyone potentially
exposed.
No specific treatment: Once
symptoms develop, rabies is
almost always fatal. PEP is
critical to prevent
progression.
Hantavirus (Hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome)
Rodent control measures:
Avoid contact with rodents
and their droppings.
Supportive care: Oxygen
therapy, mechanical
ventilation, and other
measures to manage
respiratory failure. No
specific antiviral treatment
available.
Picornavirus (Poliovirus,
enterovirus, rhinovirus)
Vaccination: Polio vaccine
protects against poliovirus.
No vaccines for most
enteroviruses or rhinoviruses.
Polio: Supportive care,
physical therapy may be
needed for paralysis.
Enterovirus: Supportive
care, antiviral medications
may be used for some viruses
(e.g., enterovirus 71).
Rhinovirus: No specific
treatment, supportive care is
recommended.
Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2,
MERS-CoV)
Vaccination: Several
COVID-19 vaccines are
available, offering varying
degrees of protection against
severe illness and
hospitalization. No vaccine
for MERS-CoV.
SARS-CoV-2: Antiviral
medications, corticosteroids,
oxygen therapy, and other
supportive measures
depending on the severity of
illness. No specific cure
exists. MERS-CoV:
Supportive care is the
mainstay of treatment, with
limited evidence for specific
antiviral benefits.
HIV Safer sex practices: Use
condoms consistently and
correctly. Pre-exposure
prophylaxis (PrEP):
Antiviral medication can
significantly reduce HIV
acquisition risk.
Antiretroviral therapy
(ART): Combination of
medications that suppress
HIV replication, allowing the
immune system to recover
and preventing transmission.
Early initiation and adherence
are crucial.
Hepatitis Virus (Hepatitis
A, B, C)
Hepatitis A:
Vaccination:Recommended
for most people. Hepatitis B:
Vaccination: Highly
effective in preventing
Hepatitis A: Supportive care
(rest, fluids). Hepatitis B: No
specific treatment for acute
infection, but chronic
infection may require
infection. Hepatitis C: No
vaccine available.
antiviral medications.
Hepatitis C: Antiviral
medications can cure most
chronic infections.

Viral culture: Confirms specific influenza strain, may take longer. Paramyxovirus (Measles, mumps, parainfluenza virus) Measles: Fever, rash, cough, conjunctivitis; Mumps: Swollen parotid glands, fever; Parainfluenza: Respiratory symptoms IgM antibody test:Detects recent infection by identifying IgM antibodies. IgG antibody test: Detects past infection by identifying IgG antibodies. Viral culture (measles, mumps) or PCR (parainfluenza) for confirmation.
  • 13. Rubella Virus Mild rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes IgM antibody test:Detects recent infection. IgG antibody test: Detects past infection. PCR may be used for confirmation in specific cases. Arbovirus (Dengue, Zika, West Nile virus) Varies depending on the virus (fever, headache, rash, muscle aches, etc.) IgM antibody test:Detects recent infection. PCR test: Detects viral RNA for rapid diagnosis and specific strain identification. Viral culture can confirm infection but takes longer. Rhabdovirus (Rabies virus) Flu-like symptoms progressing to neurological decline Fluorescent antibody test (FAT):Detects viral antigen in brain tissue or saliva (post- mortem). PCR test: Detects viral RNA in saliva or cerebrospinal fluid. Hantavirus (Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome) Fever, muscle aches, fatigue, followed by severe respiratory distress Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA):Detects IgM antibodies for recent infection. PCR test: Detects viral RNA for rapid diagnosis. Serological tests can confirm past infection later. Picornavirus (Poliovirus, enterovirus, rhinovirus) Varies depending on the virus (fever, respiratory symptoms, rash, etc.) Viral culture:Isolates and identifies specific virus. PCR test: Detects viral RNA for rapid diagnosis of some viruses (e.g., enterovirus 71). Serological tests may be used for specific viruses (e.g., poliovirus).
  • 14. Coronavirus (SARS- CoV-2, MERS-CoV) Varies depending on the virus (fever, cough, fatigue, etc.) PCR test: Detects viral RNA from respiratory secretions for rapid diagnosis. Antibody tests: IgM and IgG tests can detect recent and past infection, but timing is crucial for interpretation. HIV Initially flu-like symptoms, progressing to chronic immune suppression Rapid HIV tests:Detect HIV antibodies or antigens for quick screening. Confirmatory HIV tests: ELISA and Western blot to confirm HIV infection and differentiate between HIV-1 and HIV-2. Hepatitis Virus (Hepatitis A, B, C) Varies depending on the virus (fatigue, nausea, jaundice, etc.) Liver function tests:Assess liver damage. Serological tests: Detect viral antigens or antibodies for specific viruses (Hepatitis A IgM/IgG, Hepatitis B surface antigen/antibody, Hepatitis C antibody). Viral load testing for Hepatitis B and C to monitor infection and treatment response. Comparison of Prevention and Treatment for RNA Viruses: Virus Prevention Treatment Orthomyxovirus (Influenza virus) Vaccination: Annual influenza vaccine Antiviral medications: Oseltamivir, zanamivir, etc., can shorten illness duration

Paramyxovirus (Measles, mumps, parainfluenza virus) Vaccination: MMR vaccine protects against all three viruses. Measles: Supportive care. Mumps: Supportive care, antiviral medications may be used in some cases. Parainfluenza: No specific treatment, supportive care is key. Rubella Virus Vaccination: MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. No specific treatment: Supportive care (rest, fluids) is recommended. Arbovirus (Dengue, Zika, West Nile virus) Mosquito bite prevention: Use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, use mosquito nets. Vaccination:Available for some arboviruses (e.g., yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis). No specific treatment: Supportive care (rest, fluids, pain management) is crucial. Antiviral medications may be used for some viruses (e.g., dengue). Rhabdovirus (Rabies virus) Vaccination: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for high- risk individuals, post- exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for anyone potentially exposed. No specific treatment: Once symptoms develop, rabies is almost always fatal. PEP is critical to prevent progression. Hantavirus (Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome) Rodent control measures: Avoid contact with rodents and their droppings. Supportive care: Oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and other measures to manage respiratory failure. No

No vaccines for most enteroviruses or rhinoviruses. Polio: Supportive care, physical therapy may be needed for paralysis. Enterovirus: Supportive care, antiviral medications may be used for some viruses (e.g., enterovirus 71). Rhinovirus: No specific treatment, supportive care is recommended. Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV) Vaccination: Several COVID-19 vaccines are available, offering varying degrees of protection against severe illness and hospitalization. No vaccine for MERS-CoV. SARS-CoV-2: Antiviral medications, corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, and other supportive measures depending on the severity of illness. No specific cure exists. MERS-CoV: Supportive care is the mainstay of treatment, with limited evidence for specific antiviral benefits. HIV Safer sex practices: Use condoms consistently and correctly. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP): Antiviral medication can significantly reduce HIV acquisition risk. Antiretroviral therapy (ART): Combination of medications that suppress HIV replication, allowing the immune system to recover and preventing transmission. Early initiation and adherence are crucial. Hepatitis Virus (Hepatitis A, B, C) Hepatitis A: Vaccination:Recommended for most people. Hepatitis B: Vaccination: Highly effective in preventing Hepatitis A: Supportive care (rest, fluids). Hepatitis B: No specific treatment for acute infection, but chronic infection may require
