CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (CMV) QUALITATIVE PCR Test
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that affects people of all ages. It is a type of herpes virus and can cause serious health problems in people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or who have undergone an organ transplant. CMV is spread through bodily fluids, such as saliva, blood, urine, and breast milk.
Symptoms of CMV
Most people with CMV do not experience any symptoms. However, if symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Swollen glands
- Muscle aches
In rare cases, CMV can cause serious health problems, such as pneumonia, hepatitis, and encephalitis.
Diagnosing CMV
CMV can be diagnosed through a variety of tests, including blood tests, urine tests, and saliva tests. One of the most accurate tests for CMV is the qualitative PCR test. This test detects the DNA of the virus in a patient’s blood, urine, or other bodily fluids.
CMV Qualitative PCR Test Cost
The cost of a CMV qualitative PCR test in India typically ranges from INR 5000 to INR 7000, depending on the lab and location.
Benefits of CMV Qualitative PCR Test
The CMV qualitative PCR test is highly accurate and can detect the virus even if there are no symptoms present. This test is particularly useful for people with weakened immune systems, who are at a higher risk of developing serious health problems from CMV. Early detection and treatment of CMV can help prevent complications and improve outcomes for patients.
Conclusion
If you are experiencing symptoms of CMV or have a weakened immune system, it is important to get tested for the virus. The CMV qualitative PCR test is a highly accurate and effective way to diagnose the virus and prevent serious health problems. Contact DNA Labs India to schedule a CMV qualitative PCR test today.
