Tests that measure Orthopoxvirus and Mpox Virus: Quest Diagnostics 1

Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Swab · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Daily
Method and collection
Method
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Collection
Swab a pustule/lesion vigorously and place the swab into a viral culture media (or equivalent) tube. No additional confirmatory testing is required at the CDC, therefore a duplicate swab from the same lesion is not needed. If clinically indicated, consider submitting additional swabs if multiple lesions with different stages are present. Multiple specimens collected on a single patient should be submitted separately and be accompanied by its own separate requisition and transported in its own sealed bag.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
