EBV DNA PCR
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.
Overview of EBV DNA PCR in Kottayam
What is the Epstein-Barr Virus DNA PCR test?
This test detects and quantifies EBV DNA in the blood, indicating active viral replication or infection.
Why is this test done?
It is used for diagnosing active EBV infections, especially in immunocompromised patients, and for monitoring viral load post-transplant or in EBV-related cancers.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques to detect EBV DNA.
What do the results mean?
A positive result indicates active infection. Higher viral loads suggest ongoing viral activity, while decreasing levels indicate response to treatment.
Are there any precautions or preparations required?
No fasting or preparation is necessary.
