VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test for AED 1160.0. This test is used to diagnose active VZV infection, such as chickenpox or shingles, by detecting the presence of VZV RNA in a patient’s sample.
Test Details
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a laboratory test that involves collecting a sample from the patient, usually a swab of a skin lesion or a blood sample. The sample is then sent to our laboratory, where the VZV RNA is extracted and amplified using a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
The amplified DNA is then analyzed to determine the presence or absence of VZV RNA. A positive result indicates an active VZV infection, while a negative result suggests the absence of the virus or a very low viral load. This test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately detect the presence of VZV RNA in the sample.
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is especially useful in cases where the clinical symptoms are not definitive or when the patient has a weakened immune system. It is important to note that this test specifically detects the presence of VZV RNA, not the antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the virus. Therefore, it is not used to determine past exposure or immunity to VZV.
Cost and Components
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is available for AED 1160.0. The test can be performed on various sample conditions, including serum, plasma, whole blood, saliva, CSF, lymph node biopsies, swabs of vesicles, swabs of papules, and crusts.
Report Delivery
The report for the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is typically delivered within 4 working days via email. In urgent cases, the report can be provided within 48 hours via email or 36 hours over the phone.
Method and Test Type
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is performed using the Real Time PCR method. This test falls under the category of viral tests and is conducted by our team of experienced physicians in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to taking the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test, patients are required to sign a consent document and provide any relevant clinical history for VZV. This helps our team to better understand the patient’s condition and ensure accurate results.
Overall, the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool in diagnosing active VZV infections and guiding appropriate treatment decisions. If you suspect an active VZV infection, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional and consider taking this test for accurate diagnosis.

| Test Details |
A VZV (Varicella Zoster Virus) RNA qualitative test is a laboratory test that detects the presence of VZV RNA in a patient’s sample. This test is used to diagnose active VZV infection, such as chickenpox or shingles, by detecting the genetic material (RNA) of the virus. The test involves collecting a sample, usually a swab of a skin lesion or a blood sample, from the patient. The sample is then sent to a laboratory where the VZV RNA is extracted and amplified using a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This technique converts the viral RNA into DNA and then amplifies it, making it easier to detect. The amplified DNA is then analyzed to determine the presence or absence of VZV RNA. A positive result indicates an active VZV infection, while a negative result suggests the absence of the virus or a very low viral load. The VZV RNA qualitative test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately detect the presence of VZV RNA in the sample. It is especially useful in cases where the clinical symptoms are not definitive or when the patient has a weakened immune system. It is important to note that this test specifically detects the presence of VZV RNA, not the antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the virus. Therefore, it is not used to determine past exposure or immunity to VZV.
