Varicella-Zoster Virus is a human Herpes virus (member of the α-herpesvirus family) that causes varicella. Varicella also known as chickenpox usually affects children as well as adults. Exposure to this virus causes symptoms such as rashes, itching, fever, fluid-filled blisters, appetite issue, tiredness, etc.
The infection spread with coughing, sneezing as well as close contact. It can lead to severe issues such as toxic shock syndrome, Reye’s syndrome, Pneumonia, Bacterial infection, etc if remained untreated.
The varicella-zoster virus DNA PCR test is a delicate method to detect the presence of the Varicella Virus DNA and infections caused by this virus through a blood sample and CSF sample.
This rapid test is recommended for the patient with
For the procedure, a blood sample and CSF sample will be used. Before going for Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA PCR Test, your doctor must know about the medications, past medical history, allergy details (if you have any), etc., otherwise, you don’t need to do any additional preparation.
The Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA PCR Test result shows whether the varicella-zoster virus is present.

The VZV genome is seen to consist of the 125 kb linear double-stranded DNA molecule that leads to the encoding of at least 71 genes according to the different research papers.
The Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is known to be the common and the ubiquitous human-restricted neurotropic alphaherpesvirus of Herpesviridae family which tends to persists for life in a host post primary infection (varicella or the chickenpox)
The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has the potential to detect VZV DNA rapidly and also sensitively. PCR is also said to be the most useful laboratory test for further confirming cases of the herpes zoster. With this, the PCR testing and genotyping could also distinguish between the wild-type and the vaccine strains of the VZV. There are also swabs of the unroofed vesicular lesions and the scabs from lesions that are considered ideal.
Positive test findings show that VZV IgG antibodies are present in measurable amounts. A positive result does not necessarily imply an ongoing infection or a specific stage of the disease; rather, it usually shows exposure to the pathogen or the delivery of particular immunoglobulins.
The varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox, is the source of shingles. The symptoms of shingles can be managed, but there is no known cure. Vaccines are available to prevent postherpetic neuralgia and shingles.
For toddlers, adolescents, and adults to be protected against varicella, the CDC advises receiving two doses of the varicella vaccine (chickenpox). It is customary to advise children to receive their first dosage between the ages of 12 and 15 months and their second dose between the ages of 4 and 6 years.
