Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR Test at a cost of AED 1000.0. This molecular diagnostic test is used to detect the presence of Parvovirus B19 DNA in a patient’s sample.
Test Details
The Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR Test is a genetics test performed using an EDTA Vacutainer (2ml) to collect a peripheral blood sample. The test is conducted using the End Point PCR method and falls under the category of Genetics in our test department.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Parvovirus B19 is a common viral infection that can cause symptoms such as fever, rash, and joint pain. It is particularly known for causing a condition called fifth disease, which is characterized by a distinctive “slapped cheek” rash. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult a General Physician who can prescribe the Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR Test.
Pre Test Information
Please note that a Doctor’s prescription is required for the Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR Test. However, the test is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Report Delivery
After the test is conducted, the report will be delivered within 2-3 days.
Importance of the Test
The Parvovirus B19 Qualitative PCR Test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately detect the presence of Parvovirus B19 DNA in a patient’s sample. It is often used to confirm a suspected Parvovirus B19 infection, especially in cases where the symptoms are not typical or in patients with a weakened immune system. This test allows healthcare providers to accurately identify the virus and provide appropriate treatment and management strategies for affected individuals.

| Test Details |
Parvovirus B19 qualitative PCR is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Parvovirus B19 DNA in a patient’s sample. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction, which is a technique that amplifies specific DNA sequences in order to detect and identify pathogens. The Parvovirus B19 is a common viral infection that can cause a variety of symptoms, including fever, rash, and joint pain. It is particularly known for causing a condition called fifth disease, which is characterized by a distinctive “slapped cheek” rash. The qualitative PCR test for Parvovirus B19 works by amplifying specific regions of the viral DNA using a set of primers. The amplified DNA is then detected using fluorescent probes or other detection methods. If the Parvovirus B19 DNA is present in the patient’s sample, it will be detected by the test, indicating an active infection. The qualitative PCR test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately detect the presence of Parvovirus B19 DNA in a patient’s sample. It is often used to confirm a suspected Parvovirus B19 infection, especially in cases where the symptoms are not typical or in patients with a weakened immune system. Overall, the Parvovirus B19 qualitative PCR test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of Parvovirus B19 infections. It allows healthcare providers to accurately identify the virus and provide appropriate treatment and management strategies for affected individuals. |
