Individual tests

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often symptomless, or the symptoms are indistinguishable from other mild illnesses. People with EBV infection usually get better in two to four weeks. After getting an EBV infection, the virus becomes inactive in your body but may sometimes reactivate. IgM antibodies indicate present infection, while positive IgG shows past exposure to EBV.
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a person’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. There is currently no effective cure for HIV. However, with proper medical care, the condition can be controlled. When people with HIV do not get treatment, they typically progress through three stages. Stage 1, the most contagious phase, involves acute infection with flu-like symptoms. Stage 2 is a chronic infection with no symptoms, but HIV is still transmissible at this stage. Stage 3 is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the most severe stage of HIV infection, with an increasing number of opportunistic infections or other serious illnesses.
Quantitative HIV-1 RNA is a quantitative test for RNA of the human immunodeficiency virus, belonging to the HIV-1 group. Quantitative HIV-1 RNA aids in diagnosis, treatment monitoring, disease prognosis and assessment of treatment response to antiretroviral drugs by measuring qualitative HIV-1 RNA in plasma.
The urea breath test can aid in diagnosing H.pylori infection - a peptic ulcer pathogen. The test can also be used to assess therapy when administered more than a month after the completion of therapy.
