Overview
IHC Single Marker with Reporting CMV is a diagnostic test used to identify the presence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in a tissue sample. It utilizes immunohistochemistry (IHC), a technique that identifies specific proteins in cells.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that infects people of all ages. While it's typically harmless in healthy individuals, it can cause severe illness in those with weakened immune systems, leading to symptoms like fever, fatigue, and organ damage.
