DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE Test – Cost, Symptoms, Diagnosis
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE test to detect the presence of the dengue virus in a patient’s blood sample. This molecular diagnostic test is performed using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique, which amplifies and detects specific DNA or RNA sequences.
Test Details
Test Name: DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE Test
Components: 3 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood / plasma in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube OR 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST OR 2 mL (1 mL min.) CSF in a sterile screw capped container. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.
Price: 1170.0 AED
Report Delivery: Sample Daily by 11 am; Report Next day
Method: Real Time PCR
Test Type: Fever
Doctor: Physician
Test Department: MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS
Pre Test Information: No special preparation required
Test Procedure
The DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE test is performed by isolating the genetic material (RNA) of the dengue virus from the patient’s blood sample. The RNA is then converted into DNA using reverse transcriptase. The DNA is amplified through heating and cooling cycles using specific primers that target the dengue virus genetic sequence. If the dengue virus is present, the amplification process will result in the production of detectable DNA.
Test Result
A qualitative result means that the test will determine whether the dengue virus is present or not, without providing information about the viral load or the specific dengue serotype. This test is typically used for diagnostic purposes, confirming the presence of the dengue virus in suspected cases, especially during the early stages of infection when viral load may be low.
Interpretation
The DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE test is a laboratory-based test that requires specialized equipment and trained personnel to perform. The test results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and other laboratory findings.

| Test Details | The DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE test is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of the dengue virus in a patient’s blood sample. PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, which is a technique used to amplify and detect specific DNA or RNA sequences. This test is performed by isolating the genetic material (RNA) of the dengue virus from the patient’s blood sample. The RNA is then converted into DNA using an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. The DNA is then amplified through a series of heating and cooling cycles using specific primers that target the dengue virus genetic sequence. If the dengue virus is present in the patient’s blood sample, the amplification process will result in the production of a detectable amount of DNA. The presence of the amplified DNA is then determined using various detection methods, such as fluorescent probes or gel electrophoresis. A qualitative result means that the test will only determine whether the dengue virus is present or not, without providing information about the viral load or the specific dengue serotype. This test is typically used for diagnostic purposes, confirming the presence of the dengue virus in suspected cases, especially during the early stages of infection when viral load may be low. It is important to note that the DENGUE VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE test is a laboratory-based test that requires specialized equipment and trained personnel to perform. The test results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and other laboratory findings. |
