Varicella Zoster Virus Qualitative PCR Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Varicella Zoster Virus Qualitative PCR Test at a cost of AED 900.0. This test is used to detect the presence of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in a patient’s sample.
Test Details
The Varicella Zoster Virus Qualitative PCR Test involves the amplification of specific DNA sequences of the VZV using a technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This amplifies the viral DNA in the sample, making it easier to detect. The test is usually performed on samples such as skin lesions, cerebrospinal fluid, or respiratory secretions.
It is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis of shingles or to detect VZV in immunocompromised individuals who may have atypical symptoms or complications. The test provides a qualitative result, indicating the presence or absence of VZV DNA in the sample.
Components

| Test Details |
Varicella Zoster Virus Qualitative PCR is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in a patient’s sample. VZV is the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. The test involves the amplification of specific DNA sequences of the VZV using a technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The PCR amplifies the viral DNA in the sample, making it easier to detect. This test is usually performed on samples such as skin lesions, cerebrospinal fluid, or respiratory secretions. It is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis of shingles or to detect VZV in immunocompromised individuals who may have atypical symptoms or complications. The qualitative aspect of the test means that it only determines the presence or absence of VZV in the sample, rather than providing a quantitative measurement of the viral load. A positive result indicates the presence of VZV DNA, while a negative result suggests the absence of the virus. Varicella Zoster Virus Qualitative PCR is a highly sensitive and specific test, providing rapid and accurate results. It is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of VZV infections. |
