Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), DNA PCR

This test detects the genetic material of Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in your blood or body fluids. It helps show whether an active viral infection is present, which is often checked in patients with weakened immune systems or unexplained fevers. This information assists doctors in ruling out other causes of illness that produce similar symptoms. However, this test cannot determine by itself if the virus is the specific cause of your current health issues, as many people carry the virus without being sick.
