What does this test JC Virus Quantitative, PCR Test identify?

  • Test Name: JC Virus Quantitative PCR Test
  • Purpose: This test is used to identify the presence and quantify the amount of JC virus in a patient's sample.
  • Method: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify and detect the JC virus DNA in the sample.
  • Indications: The test is commonly performed in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients, to monitor for JC virus reactivation which can lead to a serious condition known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
  • Results: The test provides a quantitative measure of the viral load, which can help in assessing the risk of PML and guiding treatment decisions.

Why is this test JC Virus Quantitative, PCR Test taken?

  • This test is taken to measure the amount of JC virus present in the body.
  • It is commonly used to monitor the progression of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare but serious brain infection caused by the JC virus.
  • Patients who are immunocompromised, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing certain types of immunosuppressive therapy, may be at higher risk for developing PML.
