Chikungunya Rna Pcr

Interpretation:

If test results come back positive for the presence of the Chikungunya virus or antibodies, then treatment must be started for the symptoms exhibited.

If test results come back negative for the presence of the Chikungunya virus or antibodies, then further tests must be administered to diagnose the cause of the symptoms being experienced.

The variables that may affect your test results are your nutritional diet, lifestyle and any other existing medications you're currently on. Doctors should be informed if you're using any supplements or prescription medications before the test is administered.

Sometimes results may be inaccurate if the blood sample is collected too early after infection and may show to be negative for Chikungunya virus when a person is actually infected.
