CMV DNA Detection Serum Test (RT-PCR)
CMV DNA Detection (Serum) Test by RT-PCR in Pune
At a glance: This RT-PCR test detects Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in serum to identify active viral infection and viraemia.
The CMV DNA Detection (Serum) test by RT-PCR is a molecular diagnostic test used to identify Cytomegalovirus DNA circulating in blood serum. Cytomegalovirus is a herpesvirus that usually remains dormant but can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals, transplant recipients, and during pregnancy. RT-PCR (real-time polymerase chain reaction) is a highly sensitive method that detects viral genetic material, helping confirm active infection rather than past exposure.
