HSV Acyclovir Resistance with Rapid PCR, Swab/CSF

General Information

Lab Name

HSV Acyclovir Resistance with Rapid PCR, Swab/CSF

Lab Code

HSVDRR

Epic Name

HSV Acyclovir Resistance with Rapid PCR, Swab/CSF

Description

HSV Semi-Quantitative Rapid PCR, Swab/CSF, performed using the DiaSorin Simplexa™ HSV-1 & HSV-2 Direct FDA-approved assay HSV SemiQnt Rapid PCR, Swab/CSF [RPDHSV].

For positive specimens with a PCR Cycle Threshold (Ct) value <35.0, HSV Acyclovir Drug Resistance testing is reflexively performed. The HSV Acyclovir Drug Resistance assay detects and characterizes resistance-associated mutations in the Thymidine Kinase (UL23) gene of HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Note: The HSV Acyclovir Drug Resistance HSV Acyclovir Drug Resistance by Sanger Sequencing [HSVDR] assay is no longer orderable as a standalone test. To add HSVDR to a previous RPDHSV, use LADDON for SPS addon. LADDON HSVDR only to the following resulted test:

• HSV SemiQnt Rapid PCR, Swab/CSF [RPDHSV] (CSF/swabs), if CTHSV1 or CTHSV2 Ct value is <35.0
