VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test. This laboratory test is designed to measure the amount of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) present in a patient’s blood or other bodily fluids. The test can be helpful in diagnosing and monitoring VZV infections, including chickenpox and shingles.
Test Components and Price
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test is priced at 1530.0 AED. The test can be performed on various sample conditions, including serum, plasma, whole blood, saliva, C.S.F., lymph node biopsies, swabs of vesicles, swabs of papules, swabs of crusts, and crusts.
Report Delivery
The report for the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test is typically delivered on the 4th working day via email within 48 hours. Results can also be obtained over the phone within 36 hours.
Method and Test Type
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test is performed using a technique called Real Time PCR. This method amplifies the viral DNA in the sample to detectable levels. The test falls under the category of viral tests and is conducted by our team of experienced physicians in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test, patients are required to sign a consent document and provide any relevant clinical history related to VZV infections.
Test Details
The VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring VZV infections. It provides quantitative information about the viral load, indicating the number of VZV particles present in the sample. A high viral load may suggest an active VZV infection, while a low or undetectable viral load may indicate resolution of the infection or immunity to the virus.
This test is particularly useful in the following situations:
- Diagnosing VZV infections in patients with atypical symptoms or weakened immune responses
- Monitoring the effectiveness of antiviral treatment in severe or prolonged VZV infections
- Assessing the risk of VZV transmission to susceptible individuals, such as pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals who have been exposed to the virus
It is important to note that the VZV Varicella Zoster Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test is not routinely performed for all VZV infections. In most cases, a clinical diagnosis based on symptoms and physical examination is sufficient. However, in situations where a more accurate and quantitative assessment of the viral load is needed, this test can be a valuable tool for healthcare providers.

| Test Details | A VZV viral load quantitative test is a laboratory test used to measure the amount of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in a patient’s blood or other bodily fluids. This test can be helpful in diagnosing and monitoring VZV infections, such as chickenpox or shingles. The test is typically performed using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which amplifies the viral DNA in the sample to detectable levels. The PCR results are then quantified to determine the viral load, which represents the number of VZV particles present in the sample. A high viral load may indicate an active VZV infection, while a low or undetectable viral load may suggest that the infection is resolving or that the patient has developed immunity to the virus. VZV viral load quantitative testing can be particularly useful in certain situations, such as: 1. Diagnosing VZV infections in patients with atypical symptoms or in immunocompromised individuals who may have a weakened immune response. 2. Monitoring the effectiveness of antiviral treatment in patients with severe or prolonged VZV infections. 3. Assessing the risk of VZV transmission to susceptible individuals, such as pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals who have been exposed to the virus. It is important to note that VZV viral load quantitative testing is not routinely performed for all VZV infections.
