Test Details
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Qualitative PCR is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of CMV DNA in a patient’s blood, urine, or other body fluids. CMV is a common virus that can cause a variety of symptoms, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients.
The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method is used in this test to amplify and detect specific segments of CMV DNA. The qualitative aspect of the test means that it can determine whether CMV DNA is present or not, but it does not provide information on the quantity or viral load of the virus.
This test is typically used to diagnose CMV infection, especially in high-risk individuals or those with suspected CMV-related complications. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of antiviral treatment or to assess the risk of CMV transmission from a pregnant woman to her fetus.
CMV Qualitative PCR is a highly sensitive and specific test, allowing for early detection of CMV infection. However, it should be noted that a positive result does not necessarily indicate active CMV disease, as the virus can remain latent in the body without causing symptoms. Clinical correlation is important for accurate interpretation of the test results.
