Adenovirus PCR

Adenovirus DNA is a genetic material present in adenoviruses that can cause infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Adenoviruses commonly lead to respiratory infections and conjunctivitis. The test utilizes a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify adenovirus DNA in the swab sample. This test measures the presence of adenovirus DNA in nasal swab samples. Detecting this DNA helps identify adenovirus infections, crucial for diagnosing respiratory infections and conjunctivitis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Timely diagnosis ensures appropriate treatment to prevent complications.

This test is recommended for:

• Symptoms of respiratory infections or conjunctivitis.
• Immunocompromised individuals.
• Those exposed to adenovirus outbreaks.
• Individuals with severe symptoms unresponsive to standard treatments.
• Patients needing confirmation of adenovirus infection for appropriate treatment.
