Test Overview & Methodology
Clinical Scope
The Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV‑6) Antibodies Panel, measuring IgG and IgM in serum, identifies past infection or recent reactivation of HHV‑6. This virus is a common cause of roseola infantum in children and may lead to complications in immunocompromised adults. The panel supports clinicians in differentiating latent seropositivity from active disease.
| Feature | Our HHV‑6 Panel (DHA‑Certified) | Standard Lab |

| Methodology | Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) – ISO 9001:2015 | ELISA / Generic IFA |
| Turnaround Time | 2–3 Weeks (sample collected by 7th of each month) | 3–4 Weeks |

| Regulatory Compliance | Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), DHA License 1143 | Varies |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA‑licensed General Practitioner, I emphasise that HHV‑6 IgG and IgM results must be interpreted alongside clinical presentation. A positive IgM may indicate recent reactivation, whereas isolated IgG typically reflects past exposure. Always discuss your results with a qualified physician to avoid misinterpretation.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the HHV‑6 IgG and IgM panel detect, and why is it important?
The panel detects IgG antibodies that indicate past infection and IgM antibodies that signal recent or active HHV‑6 reactivation. This distinction helps clinicians determine whether a patient has latent seropositivity or an active viral process requiring management.
2. How should I prepare for the blood draw, and what does the mandatory consent form entail?
No fasting is required. You must complete and sign the Send Out Consent Form (Form 35) to comply with UAE data protection and medical liability regulations. Our mobile phlebotomist will collect the sample in a temperature‑controlled chain at your home.
3. What should I do if my results show positive IgM or elevated IgG levels?
Schedule a telephonic consultation with our DHA‑licensed physician to interpret the findings in context. Do not self‑treat based on antibody titers alone, as clinical correlation is essential for accurate diagnosis and therapy decisions.
4. Is home collection available for this test, and how is sample integrity maintained?
Yes, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. Samples are transported under ISO‑certified temperature‑controlled cold‑chain conditions to preserve serum integrity until analysis.
