Couldn't load pickup availability
The CMV DNA Detection (Serum) Test by RT-PCR is a molecular diagnostic test used to identify Cytomegalovirus DNA circulating in blood serum. Cytomegalovirus is a herpesvirus that usually remains dormant but can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals, transplant recipients, and during pregnancy. RT-PCR (real-time polymerase chain reaction) is a highly sensitive method that detects viral genetic material, helping confirm active infection rather than past exposure.
At healthcare nt sickcare, this test is available through a home collection facility for blood samples and a direct walk-in facility at our centres in Pune. Samples are processed through NABL-accredited partner labs, and healthcare nt sickcare is ISO certified, supporting early diagnosis, monitoring of viraemia, and treatment decisions under medical supervision across Maharashtra.
