Test ID RZIKU Zika Virus, PCR, Molecular Detection, Random, Urine

Useful For

Qualitative detection of Zika virus RNA in paired urine and serum from individuals meeting CDC Zika virus clinical or epidemiologic criteria

Highlights

Provides qualitative detection of Zika virus RNA from urine collected during the acute phase of infection.

 

This test is intended for the evaluation of pregnant women and symptomatic nonpregnant individuals with potential exposure to Zika virus.

 

Due to similar clinical presentations, testing for RNA or IgM-class antibodies to dengue and chikungunya viruses, concurrently with Zika virus testing, is strongly recommended.
