Overview
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a highly contagious virus that causes chickenpox (varicella) in children and shingles (herpes zoster) in adults. It is a member of the herpesvirus family. The VZV DNA detection by Real-Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) DNA in a patient's blood sample. This test is specifically designed to diagnose active VZV infection. Real-Time PCR is a sensitive and accurate method that amplifies and detects the specific DNA sequence of the VZV virus in the blood sample. It can provide rapid results, allowing for early detection and diagnosis of VZV infection. This test is typically used when there is a suspicion of VZV infection, especially in cases where the symptoms are atypical or in immunocompromised individuals who may have a higher risk of severe VZV-related complications.
