The ARIES® HSV 1&2 Assay is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection and differentiation of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 (HSV 1 and HSV 2) DNA
Reported
1-2 days
Synonyms
HSV by PCR
Department
Immunology
Reference Interval
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1/2 DNA not detected by real-time PCR Critical value: Positive
Interpretive Data
A negative result indicates that either no HSV 1/2 DNA is present in the specimen or that HSV 1/2 DNA is in concentrations below the level of detection of the assay. This result must be correlated with other diagnostic studies and clinical findings and should not be solely used to exclude the presence of the organism or active disease. A positive result indicates the presence of either HSV type 1 DNA or HSV type 2 DNA. This result must be correlated with other diagnostic studies and clinical findings.
Note: This test, which uses 'Analyte Specific Reagents,' was developed and its performance characteristics determined by the Immunology/Molecular Laboratory. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational or for research. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.
