Uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of EBV DNA, indicating an active infection. It is highly sensitive and useful for detecting viral load.
EBV DNA PCR Test in Mangaluru Overview
No special preparations needed
- Ebv Dna Pcr
No fasting or preparation is necessary.
This test detects and quantifies EBV DNA in the blood, indicating active viral replication or infection.
It is used for diagnosing active EBV infections, especially in immunocompromised patients, and for monitoring viral load post-transplant or in EBV-related cancers.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques to detect EBV DNA.
A positive result indicates active infection. Higher viral loads suggest ongoing viral activity, while decreasing levels indicate response to treatment.
