Reference Range
Parvovirus B19 DNA, QN PCR | Not Detected (copies/mL) |
Parvovirus B19 DNA, QN PCR | Not Detected (Log copies/mL) |
Clinical Significance
Parvovirus B19 infection has a wide variety of disease manifestations, including Fifth disease, transient aplastic crisis, persistent anemia and congenital hydrops fetalis. Quantification of parvovirus B19 genomic DNA is based upon Real-Time PCR amplification and detection. Reportable range is 100 to 100,000,000 copies/mL (2.00 to 8.00 Log copies/mL).
