80353-6
LaboratoryHerpes simplex virus 1 genome DNA polymerase region B+thymidine kinase region C [Presence] in Anogenital specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This assay detects herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 using two different probes, one for genome DNA polymerase region B and one for thymidine kinase region C. If either of the probes produces a sufficient signal the result is considered positive. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the Roche cobas® HSV 1 and 2 Test, which is intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of anogenital HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections in symptomatic patients. The cobas HSV 1 and 2 Test is not FDA cleared for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is not intended to be used for prenatal screening or for individuals under the age of 18 years.
