Special Instructions: HSV PCR is a single test that both detects the presence of HSV DNA and determines which type is present in the positive samples. There is no mechanism, therefore, for testing for HSV-1 without simultaneously testing for HSV-2. Specimen: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), swab, whole blood, serum, plasma, or vitreous fluid Volume: 0.5 mL CSF or vitreous fluid; one swab; or 1 mL whole blood, serum, or plasma Minimum Volume: 0.2 mL CSF or vitreous fluid; one swab; or 0.5 mL whole blood, serum, or plasma Container: Sterile container (CSF or vitreous fluid), universal transport medium (swab), red-top tube, gel-barrier tube, lavender-top (EDTA) tube, or yellow-top (ACD) tube Collection: To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested. Storage Instructions: Whole blood is stable at room temperature or refrigerated for seven days; do not freeze. Swab samples are stable at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen for seven days. Serum, plasma, or CSF samples are stable at room temperature or refrigerated for seven days or frozen for 90 days. Vitreous fluid is stable at room temperature or refrigerated for 14 days, frozen for 90 days.
