What is Ricketssia DNA Detection by RT-PCR?

This test looks for the genetic material (DNA) of Rickettsia bacteria in your blood. It's a highly sensitive method to detect an active infection early, helping doctors identify the cause of your symptoms quickly.

Why is this test important?

Rickettsia bacteria cause various diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever or typhus, often transmitted by ticks, fleas, or lice. Early detection is crucial for prompt treatment, which can prevent severe complications and improve recovery.
