Qualitative Real-Time PCR

What the laboratory says this test is for

This panel includes nucleic acid amplification testing for HSV-1, HSV-2, and Treponema pallidum in genital lesion swabs. Due to the overlapping clinical presentation of herpetic and syphilitic lesions, this panel can be used to aid in the identification of the most common etiological agents causing genital ulcer disease. A positive result is definitive diagnosis for the causative agent and a negative result may require additional testing.

What the laboratory says this test is for

This profile is for clinician determination of HIV status for PrEP provision for patients with recent or ongoing antiretroviral prophylaxis use. If the patient has taken oral PrEP within the last 3 months or has received cabotegravir in the past 12 months, then both an HIV Antibody/Antigen assay and an HIV-1 Qualitative Nucleic Acid Amplification test (NAAT) are indicated. Results are utilized to monitor patients who are HIV-1 negative and currently on oral or injectable PrEP and to inform ongoing patient management.Please refer to the U.S. Public Health Service "Preexposure Prophylaxis for the Prevention of HIV Infection in the United States - 2021 Update Clinical Practice Guideline" for additional information.

What the laboratory says this test is for

Persons infected with Borrelia miyamotoi most likely have fever, joint pains, fatigue, and headache, though unlike Lyme disease, rash is uncommon.The diagnosis of Borrelia miyamotoi is most often made by history and clinical examination combined with exposure in endemic areas. Amplification of B. miyamotoi genomic DNA from blood, fluids or tissues confirms the diagnosis.

What the laboratory says this test is for

Enteroviruses are among the most common viruses infecting humans and are associated with diverse clinical syndromes ranging from minor febrile illness to severe, potentially fatal conditions (e.g., aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, paralysis, myocarditis, and neonatal enteroviral sepsis) and could be linked with the development of some chronic diseases (e.g., type 1 diabetes and dilated cardiomyopathy). Each year, an estimated 10 to 15 million symptomatic enterovirus infections occur in the United States.
