Executive Summary & Core Metrics
This quantitative molecular test measures Ebola virus RNA copies per millilitre of sample using real‑time PCR (qPCR) complemented by whole genome sequencing for variant identification. Designed for diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and outbreak containment, it delivers a precise numeric viral load essential for clinical decision‑making and public health response. Results are available by phone within 36 hours and by email within 48 hours, with DHA‑licensed physician telephonic interpretation included.
Test Overview & Methodology
The assay employs reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) targeting conserved regions of the Ebola virus genome, with a lower limit of detection of 10 copies/mL. Viral RNA is extracted under BSL‑4 containment protocols, reverse transcribed, and amplified using fluorescent probe‑based detection. When viral load exceeds 500 copies/mL, whole genome sequencing is automatically triggered to identify lineage and track potential mutations relevant to virulence and vaccine escape.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“When I evaluate a patient with suspected Ebola virus disease, the quantitative viral load provides critical information about disease stage and transmissibility. A rising viral load over serial measurements often precedes clinical deterioration and guides intensification of supportive care. However, this result must always be interpreted alongside exposure history, symptom progression, and organ function markers.”
– Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132
Medication Safety Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue or alter prescribed antiviral therapy without consulting your treating physician. Changes in medication regimen must be guided by serial viral load trends and clinical assessment by a specialist.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active, profuse bleeding or haemodynamic instability – immediate hospitalisation is required before specimen collection.
- Exclusion: Confirmed Ebola with severe vomiting or uncontrolled diarrhoea – risk of exposure during transport is unacceptable; collect only under hospital containment.
- Red Flag (ER): Sudden high fever, severe headache, muscle pain, or unexplained haemorrhage in a traveller from an endemic area – seek Emergency Department care immediately.
- Red Flag: Any sign of multiple organ failure, confusion, or coma – call 998 for ambulance transfer.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How quickly can I receive my Ebola viral load result?
Your numeric result is delivered via phone within 36 hours and via email within 48 hours for clinical action. The test processes whole blood, serum, or plasma through RT‑qPCR and, if viral material is sufficient, whole genome sequencing adds genomic details in the same timeframe. All results include a quantitative value in copies per millilitre.
2. What sample types are accepted for this test?
We accept whole blood, serum, and plasma as primary specimens. Cerebrospinal fluid and other body fluids may be accepted under specific clinical circumstances per DHA biosafety protocols. All specimens must be collected inside a hospital setting under BSL‑4 containment and transported in specialised viral transport media under cold‑chain conditions to prevent RNA degradation.
3. Is the test accurate even when symptoms are mild?
Quantitative PCR detects viral RNA at extremely low levels, often days before severe symptoms appear. Combined with whole genome sequencing, we can confirm virus identity beyond doubt, making it the preferred method for early surveillance and contact tracing. Sensitivity exceeds 99.9% in symptomatic patients and remains above 95% in presymptomatic individuals with detectable viraemia.
