About Zika Virus Test | Zika Virus Testing in La Mesa
Zika virus testing helps identify current or recent infection by looking for the virus itself or the immune response it triggers.
Molecular tests, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), detect Zika virus RNA directly in body fluids. These tests are most useful within a limited window after exposure, when the virus is still present in the blood, urine, or other specimens.
Serologic tests, such as IgM antibody assays, detect antibodies the immune system produces in response to Zika. Because antibodies can cross-react with related flaviviruses like dengue, results are interpreted alongside clinical history and other laboratory findings.
Testing is typically considered for people with symptoms consistent with Zika, those who have traveled to or lived in areas with active transmission, and pregnant people with possible exposure. A healthcare provider determines which test is appropriate based on timing and individual circumstances.
