QUEST DIAGNOSTICS 14225 NEWBROOK DR. CHANTILLY, VA 22021-0841
Evaluation for HERP G2
This assay is type specific and will differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.
A single positive result only indicates previous immunologic exposure and the level of
antibody response may not be used to determine active infection or disease stage.
The test should be repeated in 4-6 weeks when negative or equivocal results are obtained
in suspected early Herpes Simplex disease.
The performance of this assay has not been established for pediatric populations, for neonatal
screening, or for the testing of immunocompromised patients.
Evaluation for HERP M1:
0.900 or = Positive
Evaluation for HSVMSCR:
REFERENCE RANGE: NOT DETECTED
Evalauation for HSVM TR:
REFERENCE RANGE: <1:10
This test does not distinguish between HSV 1 and HSV 2. A positive HSV
IgM may indicate primary or reactivated infection. IgM antibody can persist
12+ months after primary infection. Cross reactions occur with varicella zoster,
CMV and EBV. Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 IgG, type specific antibody
(HerpeSelect), helps confirm and differentiate prior infection with HSV 1 or HSV 2.
So PLEASE if anyone understands this to help me out it would be much appreciated as I havent got a clue!
