Limitations
Laboratory test results should always be considered in the context of clinical observations. This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined by med fusion. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 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 for research. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.
Reference Range
Not Detected
Clinical Significance
This test is used to determine the presence of HHV-6 DNA in patients’ specimens. Organisms may be detected by PCR prior to detection 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 to 6.30 log copies/mL).
