What is Immunohistochemistry -CMV?

This test uses a tissue sample to detect proteins produced by the Cytomegalovirus (CMV). It helps determine if there is an active CMV infection within the examined tissue.

Why is this test important?

Detecting CMV proteins in tissue is crucial for diagnosing active CMV disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. It helps confirm CMV's role in conditions like colitis, pneumonitis, or encephalitis.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
