Rapid Herpes Virus Test On A Swab

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 87274

A laboratory test that looks directly for herpes simplex virus in material taken from a sore, blister, or swab. Antibodies tagged with a fluorescent dye stick to the virus if it is present, and the sample glows when viewed under a special microscope. It gives an answer faster than growing the virus in culture.
