In recent years, Hong Kong has recorded multiple cases of tropical diseases, raising public concern about related health risks. Chikungunya Fever (CF) is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of female Aedes mosquitoes carrying the CF virus, and is not transmitted from person to person. Early symptoms of tropical diseases such as CF, dengue, leptospira spp. and plasmodium spp. are similar, often including high fever, headache and joint or muscle pain, which can be easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. Now, a single rapid test can simultaneously screen for multiple tropical diseases, allowing you to promptly assess your health and provide comprehensive protection for you and your family.
