ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test to help diagnose adenovirus infections. This test is used to detect the presence of adenovirus in a patient’s sample.
Test Details
The ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of adenovirus in a patient’s sample. Adenoviruses are a common cause of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.
The test works by using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect specific genetic material (DNA) from the adenovirus. The PCR test is highly sensitive and can detect even small amounts of the virus in the sample.
The procedure involves taking a sample, such as a swab from the throat or nasal cavity, or a stool sample, and extracting the genetic material from the sample. The extracted DNA is then mixed with specific primers and enzymes that target and amplify the adenovirus DNA.
If the adenovirus DNA is present in the sample, it will be amplified through multiple cycles of heating and cooling. The amplified DNA is then analyzed using various methods, such as gel electrophoresis or fluorescent probes, to determine if the adenovirus is present.
Test Cost and Components
The cost of the ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test is AED 1080.0. The test includes the following components:
- 3 ml (2 mL min.) whole blood from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube OR 3 ml (2 mL min.) CSF in a sterile screw capped container
- Sample must be shipped refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.
Report Delivery
The sample should be submitted on Monday or Thursday by 11 am, and the report will be delivered on Wednesday or Saturday.
Test Type and Department
The ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test falls under the category of Infections. It is conducted in the MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before taking the ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Adenovirus infections can cause respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Common symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, diarrhea, and vomiting. However, symptoms can vary depending on the specific adenovirus strain causing the infection.
The ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test is used to diagnose adenovirus infections by detecting the presence of the virus in a patient’s sample. This test is highly sensitive and can accurately identify the adenovirus strain causing the infection.
Doctor and Test Department
The ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test is conducted under the supervision of a physician in the MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS department.
Conclusion
The ADENOVIRUS QUALITATIVE PCR Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is an important tool in diagnosing and managing adenovirus infections. It provides a rapid and accurate diagnosis, allowing for timely treatment and appropriate infection control measures.
By detecting the specific adenovirus strain causing the infection, healthcare professionals can better understand the symptoms and complications associated with the infection. This information is crucial for effective treatment and prevention strategies.
