Pre Test Information
Prior to the HHV 6 Viral Load Quantitative Test, patients are required to sign a consent document and bring any clinical history related to HHV-6 infection.
Test Details
The HHV-6 viral load quantitative test is used to measure the amount of HHV-6 in a patient’s blood or bodily fluids. HHV-6 is a common virus that can cause symptoms such as fever, rash, and fatigue. It is more prevalent in young children and can have more severe effects on individuals with weakened immune systems.
The test is primarily used to monitor the progression of HHV-6 infection and assess the effectiveness of antiviral treatment. It can also differentiate between active HHV-6 infection and viral reactivation.
During the test, a sample of blood or other bodily fluid is collected from the patient and sent to our laboratory. We use a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect the viral genetic material in the sample. The amount of HHV-6 genetic material is then quantified, providing a measure of the viral load.
The test results are reported as a numerical value, typically expressed as copies of viral DNA per milliliter of blood or fluid. A higher viral load indicates a greater amount of the virus present in the body.
The HHV-6 viral load quantitative test is ordered by healthcare providers if there is a suspicion of HHV-6 infection or if monitoring of the infection is necessary. The test is performed in specialized laboratories and may take several days for results to be available.
It is important to note that the interpretation of the test results should be done in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and medical history.
