Rapid Test For Chickenpox And Shingles Virus

Alaska rates for HCPCS 87290

A laboratory test that looks directly for the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles in fluid or cells scraped from a blister. Antibodies tagged with a fluorescent dye bind to the virus if it is present, making the sample glow under a special microscope. It gives a faster answer than growing the virus in culture.
