Interpretive Data:
The detection of adenovirus DNA is based upon the real-time
amplification and detection of specific adenovirus genomic DNA
sequences by PCR from total DNA extracted from the specimen. A
positive (Detected) PCR results should be considered in conjunction
with clinical presentation and additional diagnostic tests prior to
establishing a diagnosis. A negative (Not Detected) PCR result
indicates only the absence of adenovirus DNA in the sample tested and
does not exclude the diagnosis of disease.
Methodology:
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT- PCR)
