The Ganciclovir Resistance Detection Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure aimed at identifying resistance to ganciclovir, an antiviral medication primarily used for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. This test is particularly crucial for patients who are undergoing antiviral therapy and exhibit a poor response to treatment, suggesting the possibility of a resistant viral strain. By analyzing the viral DNA, the test detects specific mutations in the CMV genome that are known to confer resistance to ganciclovir.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic and molecular diagnostics, the test employs advanced molecular techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results. The cost of the Ganciclovir Resistance Detection Test is set at 1300 AED. The price reflects the sophisticated technology and expertise required to perform this specialized analysis. For patients and healthcare providers, the test offers valuable insights into treatment options, allowing for the adjustment of antiviral therapy to combat resistant CMV infections effectively.

Test Details

Ganciclovir resistance detection test is a laboratory test used to determine if a virus, typically cytomegalovirus (CMV), is resistant to the antiviral drug ganciclovir. Ganciclovir is commonly used to treat CMV infections in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients.

The test involves obtaining a sample from the patient, usually blood or tissue, and isolating the CMV virus. The virus is then exposed to different concentrations of ganciclovir in the laboratory. The growth of the virus is monitored, and if it continues to replicate in the presence of high concentrations of ganciclovir, it indicates resistance to the drug.

There are different methods to perform ganciclovir resistance detection tests, including phenotypic and genotypic assays. Phenotypic assays directly measure the ability of the virus to grow in the presence of ganciclovir, while genotypic assays analyze the genetic makeup of the virus to identify specific mutations associated with resistance.

Ganciclovir resistance detection tests are important in guiding treatment decisions for CMV infections. If a patient is found to have ganciclovir-resistant CMV, alternative antiviral drugs or combination therapies may be recommended to effectively treat the infection.
