Herpes Simplex Virus HSV Type 1 2 PCR Qualitative Test
Introduction
The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a common viral infection that can manifest in various forms, primarily HSV Type 1 and Type 2. The Herpes Simplex Virus HSV Type 1 2 PCR Qualitative Test is a crucial diagnostic tool that utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect the presence of the virus in biological samples. This test is essential for accurate diagnosis and management of HSV infections, which can lead to significant morbidity if left untreated.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the presence of HSV Type 1 and Type 2 DNA in the sample provided. By amplifying the viral genetic material, the test can accurately determine whether an individual is infected with the herpes simplex virus.
