Influenza is a seasonal epidemic caused by viruses, classified into types A, B, and C. High fever, fatigue, muscle aches, sore throat, and cough are common symptoms and can become severe. Special attention is needed during an epidemic, as it can be life-threatening for the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.

In Japan, influenza occurrences are seasonal, peaking in the winter. On the other hand, Indonesia is a tropical country, meaning there is less seasonal variation, making influenza occur consistently throughout the year.

Streptococcus infections are caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, which infects the mucous membranes of the throat.
This infection, commonly known as ‘ischemia,’ can cause sore throats, fevers, swollen tonsils, or white spots.

Patients typically complain of pain and discomfort in the pharynx.
As symptoms progress, coughing and discomfort in other parts of the body may occur. Proper treatment with antibiotics is crucial for this disease.

Qualitative antigen tests are primarily used for the diagnosis of adenovirus.
Samples are taken from the throat, conjunctiva of the eye, and feces according to the existing symptoms.

Results are usually obtained within 5 to 10 minutes. To identify the type of virus, PCR testing and other methods are required.

Rapid drug detection tests are conducted by taking samples from urine or saliva to detect specific drugs or their metabolites.

Results are usually obtained within a few minutes to several tens of minutes after sample collection.
Common sampling sites are from urine for urine tests and from the oral cavity for saliva tests.
