Well, today morning as i read the newspaper - Daily Express..
The 1st things i see the Title is the above.. "Sabah Cases Up to 461 Cases with 3 Death"
OMG!!
wat it will happen like this??
haiz..
it said that the number of confirmed with H1N1 cases in Sabah has shot up to 461..
Dr Hassan - Health Ministry's Disease Control Division Director said that now they are 2 types of test:-
i) Rapid Test
ii) Real Time Polymerase Chain Recreation (RT - PCR) Test
that will be detect the H1N1 Virus.
The govermenet clinic do not conduct screening by Rapid Test (by way of taking a throat swab for testing which is very fast).
It is done by the private clinic.
Rapid Test is not specific and not confirmatory because theat cannot detect the viruS. (they why they want to test the sick people le:???)

The RT - PCR test is a specific and highend test which take 6hrs in the lab.
the test are given free to patients in gov clinic, the Rapid tests and the RT - PCR test actually cost with RM 20 - RM30 and RM180 oh.. wah~

The RT - PCR is done by the Public Health Laboratory which set up at Bukit Padang there~
