The Chikungunya RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of the Chikungunya virus in patients. This test is particularly important in regions where Chikungunya is endemic, allowing for timely diagnosis and management of the disease.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the presence of viral RNA in the patient’s serum, plasma, or whole blood using the Real Time PCR method. It is a qualitative test, meaning it will confirm whether the virus is present or not.
