Virology tests

Virology is the study of viruses and the diseases they cause. Virology tests are essential for diagnosing viral infections, monitoring viral load, and guiding treatment. Samples for virology tests may include blood, urine, saliva, or swabs from affected tissues.

• HBV DNA PCR: Detects Hepatitis B virus DNA to monitor infection and treatment.

• HCV RNA PCR: Detects Hepatitis C virus RNA to confirm active infection.

• HCV Genotype: Determines the genetic type of Hepatitis C virus to guide therapy.

• HIV Ab / HIV PCR: Detects antibodies or viral RNA for HIV diagnosis.

• CMV PCR: Detects Cytomegalovirus DNA, important for immunocompromised patients.

• HPV PCR / HPV Genotyping: Detects Human Papillomavirus and identifies its types for cancer screening.

• Influenza PCR: Detects influenza viruses for rapid diagnosis of flu infections.
