ENTPCR
Interpretation:
Not detected = Negative, no virus detected.
Detected = Positive, virus detected.
Methodology:
This test employs PCR amplification of an Enterovirus-specific conserved genetic target. Some cross-reactivity was noted during validation with suspected Rhinovirus positive samples. A positive result should be coupled with clinical indicators for diagnosis. A "Not detected" result for this assay does not exclude Enterovirus involvement in a disease process. This test has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for CSF sample testing. Other sample types are not FDA-approved but were validated by the UCH Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory.This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational or for research. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 ("CLIA") as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing.
