FAQ

What is the difference between herpes zoster and chickenpox?

Shingles is induced by varicella Zoster infection (VZV), the very infection that causes chickenpox. After an individual recuperates from chickenpox, the infection stays lethargic or dormant in their body. The infection can reactivate later, causing Shingles.  

What precautions should be taken for the further spread of Varicella Zoster Virus?

As soon as the person tests positive for Varicella Zoster Virus, they must be isolated in a separate room and if possible try to be isolated in a negative airflow room.

How do you perform a test for Varicella Zoster Virus?

The test is performed by ELISA method for the diagnosis of Varicella Zoster at Sterling Accuris diagnostics in Palanpur.

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test in Palanpur

x

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test in Palanpur  to detect the infection of Varicella Zoster Virus. 

Overview of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test

The varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpesviridae family, is the cause behind both varicella and shingles. Acute illness and strong contagiousness characterise chickenpox. A cutaneous vesiculopustular rash that appears 10–21 days after exposure is the disease's defining feature. Immunity against recurrent infections is conferred by primary VZV infection; nonetheless, VZV stays dormant inside sensory neurons and has the potential to reactivate, resulting in the herpes zoster illness. Herpes zoster is a painful illness that affects older non-immune adults, those whose immunity to VZV is declining and people whose cell-mediated immunity is compromised. Real-time PCR tests have shown to be effective for detecting the varicella-zoster virus because they reduce the amount of time needed for detection and increase sensitivity.

Get a Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR test near you to rule out any further complications that may lead to serious diseases. For accurate and precise test results head on to Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test in Palanpur

Why and when is the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test done?

The quickest and most accurate way to determine if someone has varicella or herpes zoster is through PCR testing. As a result, it is the test of choice for VZV infection and is recommended by doctors.

In cases of shingles or chickenpox, the doctor would advise getting this test, if you show signs of illness and lack immunity to VZV. Numerous symptoms shared by the two illnesses include:

  • A red, blistering rash. Chickenpox rashes usually spread over the body and are typically very irritating. Shingles can just affect one area and are typically unpleasant.
  • Herpes simplex, along with eczema herpeticum
  • Fever
  • Impetigo
  • Sore throat
  • Contact dermatitis
  • Candida infection
  • Headache
  • Folliculitis
  • Scabies
  • Insect bites
  • Papular urticaria
  • Dermatitis herpetiformitis
  • Drug eruptions

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test: Main Highlights

  • Instructions: No special preparation is required.
  • Recommended Age: All age group
  • Sample type for test: Vesicular lesions, scabs, or body fluids.

Understanding how to interpret Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test Reports

VZV is present if a DNA test for the virus gives a positive result. An active infection is typically indicated by high viral DNA levels. Low levels may not always imply a symptomatic illness but do indicate a VZV infection.
