Herpesvirus Load Measurement Test

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 87533

This laboratory test measures the amount of a specific type of herpesvirus's genetic material present in a sample, rather than simply detecting whether it's there. It's most often used to monitor an active infection in someone with a weakened immune system, such as after a transplant. Tracking the level over time helps show whether an infection is responding to treatment.
