Use

This test is used for detection of Varicella‑Zoster Virus (VZV) DNA in a spectrum of clinical samples in individuals suspected or presenting with signs and symptoms of clinical VZV infection. Qualitative VZV PCR results can aid in the diagnosis of cutaneous, subcutaneous, and visceral varicella. VZV is a member of the Herpesviridae family that causes two distinct clinical diseases in the infected individual. Qualitative detection supports clinical decision‑making in suspected VZV cases.
