Herpes simplex virus check

Herpes simplex virus check

Kao Medical laboratory scientist For the preparation of the type 1 to type 8 herpes infection inspection program that has occurred in Taiwan, herpes virus infection will hide in the dorsal root ganglia. For example: herpes type 1 HSV-1 → Trigeminal ganglion, herpes type 2 HSV-2 → sacrum ganglion. In addition, the PA-PCR-DNA diagnostic method used when clinical folliculitis and acne cannot be confirmed is added.


HSV type 1+2, simple herpesvirus 1&2 type DNA, mixed hybrid type MIXED-DNA
→Sampling procedures usually determined for unknown conditions or highly suspected infection sites
→3,000NTD, report 3 days



HSV type 1 IgG, simple herpesvirus type 1, expressed above the waist and mouth
→ can be regarded as past infection records or recurrence patterns
→500NTD, report 1-2 days


HSV type 1 IgM, herpes simplex virus type 1, expressed above the waist and mouth
→ can be regarded as a recent infection record or initial infection
→800NTD, report 1-2 days

HSV type 2 IgG, herpes simplex virus type 2, expressed below the waist and genitals

HSV type 2 IgM, herpes simplex virus type 2, expressed below the waist and genitals
→ can be regarded as a recent infection record or initial infection
→800NTD, report 1-2 days

HSV type 3 VZ-IgG, herpesvirus type 3, is a varicella virus
→Evaluate whether varicella virus is antibody-protective, as a basis for vaccination
→700NTD, report 1-2 days

HSV type 3 VZ-IgM, herpesvirus type 3, is herpes zoster virus
→Assess the active period of herpes zoster virus and varicella virus infection

Propionibacterium acnes PCR

Clinically, it is often impossible to confirm whether the skin sign is folliculitis or acne.
Beginning of the Year of the Pig in 2019, PA-PCR is an advanced, high-end test that confirms non-folliculitis
→cost 3000NTD, report 3-4 days
