Reference Range
Not Detected


Clinical Significance
Adenovirus DNA, Quantitative Real-Time PCR - This test is used to determine the presence of adenovirus in a patient’s specimen. Organisms may be detected by PCR prior to diagnosis by immunological methods. PCR provides more rapid results than other methods, including culture. Reportable range is 500 to 2,000,000 copies/mL (2.70-6.30 Log copies/mL).
