Human Herpesvirus 6 Genetic Detection

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 87531

A laboratory test that checks a sample of blood or tissue for the genetic material of human herpesvirus 6, a common virus most people pick up in early childhood and then carry quietly for life. A probe binds that genetic material directly, with no step that copies it first, and the result says whether it was found in the sample. It is used most often in people whose immune defenses are weakened, where the virus can wake up and cause illness.
