Neuroviruses Panel Qualitative PCR Test
Comprehensive Viral Detection for Central Nervous System Infections
The Neuroviruses Panel Qualitative PCR Test represents a cutting-edge molecular diagnostic approach for identifying viral infections affecting the central nervous system. This advanced panel utilizes Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect and differentiate between 11 different neurotropic viruses that can cause serious neurological conditions. Early and accurate identification of these pathogens is crucial for implementing appropriate antiviral therapies and preventing long-term neurological damage.
What This Test Detects
Our comprehensive Neuroviruses Panel screens for the following 11 key neurotropic viruses:
- Adenovirus – Can cause meningoencephalitis and other CNS complications
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) – Particularly important in immunocompromised patients
- Enteroviruses – Common cause of viral meningitis
- Epstein Barr virus (EBV) – Associated with various neurological manifestations
- Herpes simplex virus 1 & 2 – Major causes of encephalitis requiring urgent treatment
- Varicella Zoster virus – Can cause CNS complications including encephalitis
- Parechoviruses – Emerging pathogens in neonatal CNS infections
- Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) – Linked to encephalitis and febrile seizures
- Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV7) – May cause neurological symptoms
- Parvovirus B19 – Rare but potential CNS involvement
Who Should Consider This Test
This comprehensive viral panel is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms including headache, confusion, or altered mental status
- Suspected meningitis or encephalitis of unknown origin
- Fever with neurological manifestations
- Seizures of new onset without clear cause
- Immunocompromised patients with neurological symptoms
- Neonates and infants with suspected CNS infections
- Patients with focal neurological deficits of unknown etiology
Key Benefits of Neuroviruses Panel Testing
- Comprehensive Coverage – Single test screens for 11 different neurotropic viruses
- Rapid Results – Advanced Real Time PCR technology provides fast turnaround
- High Accuracy – Molecular detection offers superior sensitivity and specificity
- Early Intervention – Enables timely antiviral therapy initiation
- Cost-Effective – Comprehensive panel eliminates need for multiple individual tests
- Expert Interpretation – Results reviewed by experienced neurologists and molecular pathologists
Understanding Your Test Results
Your Neuroviruses Panel results will be reported as either Detected or Not Detected for each virus in the panel:
- Positive Result (Detected): Indicates the presence of viral genetic material in your sample. This confirms an active infection and should be discussed with your healthcare provider for appropriate treatment planning.
- Negative Result (Not Detected): Suggests that the tested viruses were not detected in your sample at the time of testing. However, this does not completely rule out viral infection, and clinical correlation is essential.
All results include detailed interpretation by our expert team and recommendations for next steps. Your healthcare provider will discuss the clinical significance of your results in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
