Human adenoviruses (AdV) cause a variety of diseases and are prevalent throughout the world. Common clinical manifestations resulting from AdV infection include pneumonia, cystitis, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, hepatitis, myocarditis, and encephalitis. In the general population, AdV often cause mild or self-limiting disease; however, severe disseminated disease can occur in immunocompromised individuals and can be fatal. The "gold standard" of diagnosis for AdV infection has been viral culture. Although culture provides a sensitive method for diagnosis, it can take as long as 3 weeks to achieve results. Immunofluorescence and other immunodiagnostic assays using direct antigen detection are more rapid than culture, but they lack sensitivity. Recently, PCR-based assays have been employed in clinical practice for the detection of AdV and have proven to be comparable or better than the classic methods. A real-time PCR targeting all serotypes in one reaction provides AdV detection in a rapid and efficient manner.

C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infections are the most common sexually transmitted bacterial diseases in the United States. Amplified methods are now available for the detection of these two pathogens. Amplified methods offer increased sensitivity (96% for CT and GC) as opposed to non-amplified assays (67% for CT, 85% for GC). Also, amplified methods allow for testing from urine specimens.

This qualitative assay for cytomegalovirus (CMV) detection is majorly used for detection of CMV in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CMV can be an important pathogen causing encephalitis and meningitis. Recognition of the presence of CMV is critical to the therapy and differentiation. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from CSF. Detection of CMV DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus.Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an significant pathogen in immunocompromised patients, such as organ and bone marrow transplant recipients. However, antiviral drugs must be used carefully due to side effects. As a persistent infection, it is important to differentiate between CMV infection and disease, and CMV quantitation in blood a major laboratory technique to monitor infection status and manage patients. CMV viral load by cell cultures has not been reliable and has had low sensitivity. Antigenemia assays do not measure free viruses not associated with cells and will not work with patients with low white counts. Quantification of CMV viral load by real-time PCR offers a specific, wide-range viral load with significantly shorter turn-around times.Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common respiratory pathogen that is now being implicated in a number of chronic diseases.More recently, C. pneumoniae has been implicated in playing a role in several chronic diseases such as reactive arthritis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimers disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies have shown that C. pneumoniae has been detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 95% - 100% of patients having MS. In patients with AD, there have been reports of a high incidence of C. pneumoniae also. At this time, it is unclear whether C. pneumoniae is a silent passenger or plays an active role in these disease processes. It has been shown that in patients diagnosed with giant-cell arteritis, improvement of the patients condition coincided with the institution of antibiotic treatment. Whole blood and CSF tested by PCR for C. pneumoniae has proven to be the most rapid and sensitive way to detect infection with this organism.

EBV is an important pathogen causing central nervous system infections. Prompt recognition of the presence of EBV is critical to the patient care and differential diagnosis. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Detection of EBV DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus.EBV has been implicated as a cause of lymphoproliferative diseases in immunocompromised patients, including post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs). PTLDs cause a high rate of mortality in transplant recipients. Quantitation of the systemic EBV load may provide a highly sensitive and specific method to predict the development and monitoring of EBV disease.

Human ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne rickettsial disease of great public health concern in the United States. Clinical diagnosis of human ehrlichiosis has been difficult because its typical nonspecific presentation of symptoms include fever, headache, myalgias, arthralgias and nausea. This is easily confused with other illnesses such as influenza or other tick-borne zoonoses such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. This PCR assay for detection of ehrlichiosis makes it possible for early, specific diagnosis and treatment of this disease.The enteroviruses are the most common cause of meningitis in the United States and an important cause of encephalitis. Occurring mainly in the summer and fall, enterovirus meningitis leads to a large number of hospitalizations of both children and adults. Rapid and accurate detection of enterovirus RNA in the CSF can affect clinical decision making, promote rapid discharge of patients, and reduce unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.HHV-6 can be an important pathogen causing encephalitis and meningitis. Prompt recognition of the presence of HHV-6 is helpful for clinical differential diagnosis. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Detection of HHV-6 DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus.

HHV-7 is an important pathogen causing encephalitis and meningitis. Prompt recognition of the presence of HHV-7 is helpful for clinical differential diagnosis. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Detection of HHV-7 DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus.

HHV-8 can be an important pathogen causing encephalitis and meningitis. Prompt recognition of the presence of HHV-8 is helpful for clinical differential diagnosis. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Detection of HHV-8 DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus. HHV-8 testing can be used to confirm Kaposi sarcoma in tissue materials.HBV is one of the leading causes of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. More than 2 billion people are infected worldwide and it is responsible for 1 million deaths annually. In developed countries, HBV is a blood-borne viral infection transmitted via sexual activity, injection-drug use or occupational exposure. Almost all vertical transmission (mother to infant) of HBV has been eliminated in the United States due to the institution of an aggressive HBV vaccination program and the immunoprophylactic treatment of infants born to HBsAg positive mothers. Chronic HBV patients may go on to develop more severe conditions such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver failure and other complications. There have been recent advances in antiviral therapy with the development of new nucleoside analogues. This has supported the need for HBV viral quantification for the monitoring of treatment.HCV genotyping is recommended after diagnosis of HCV to help in selecting a therapeutic regimen and also to determine expected virological response and therefore outcome of therapy. The current guidelines for therapy suggest that patients infected with genotype 1 follow a longer course of therapy (48 weeks) and a combination therapy than those of other genotypes. Amplifying and sequencing the 5' untranslated region (UTR) region of HCV genome allows the HCV genotype to be determined by comparing to prototypic HCV genotypes in a database.

HCV is a cause of chronic liver disease formerly known as non-A, non-B hepatitis. An 8,000 10,000 deaths per year are due to HCV-related chronic liver disease. Those who should be tested for HCV infection include persons who have persistently abnormal alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, have injected illegal drugs, certain recipients of blood or blood components or an organ transplant, and persons on chronic hemodialysis. Persons at risk (healthcare and emergency workers or babies born to HCV-infected women) should also be tested. Diagnostic tests for HCV antibodies indicate prior exposure to HCV but do not distinguish between cleared and active infection. In a patient with anti-HCV, detectable HCV RNA indicates an active It is necessary to quantitate HCV RNA once a patient has been diagnosed with an HCV infection to provide base-line levels prior to starting drug therapy. HCV can be treated with interferon-a alone or in combination with ribavirin. The amount of HCV RNA in the plasma (viral load) correlates to the response to therapy and the stage of HCV infection. HCV quantification will track levels to monitor the response to drug therapy. With successful drug therapy the viral load decreases and in some patients reaches undetectable levels. Nucleic acid techniques are currently the only reliable laboratory test for HCV quantitation in clinical specimens.HIV is the etiologic agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Quantitative measurements of HIV viremia in the peripheral blood have shown that higher virus levels may be correlated with increased risk of clinical progression of HIV disease, and that reductions in plasma virus levels may be associated with decreased risk of clinical progression. HIV viral load and drug treatment response are closely linked. With successful drug therapy the viral load decreases and with failure the load increases. HIV Ultra sensitive quantification will provide tracking to monitor the response to drug therapy of those patients who fall below the level detected by normal viral load

More than 70 types of HPV have been identified, and are generally classified as high-risk or low-risk depending on their known association or lack of association with cancer and its precursor lesion, high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3). Prospective studies (age 16-60 years) have shown that 15-28% of HPV DNA positive women developed squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) suggestive of CIN 1-3 or cancer within 2 years compared to only 1-3% of HPV DNA negative women. Although current scientific literature suggests that persistent infection with high-risk HPV is the main risk factor for development of high-grade cervical neoplasia and cancer, apparent persistence may represent continuous infection with a single HPV type, with multiple HPV types, or reinfection. Nonetheless, women who are repeatedly Pap negative and HR HPV negative appear to be at low risk for having or developing cervical precancerous lesions.HSV-1 and HSV-2 are important pathogens causing encephalitis and meningitis. Prompt recognition of the presence of HSV is critical to the initiation of Acyclovoir therapy which may greatly improve patient outcome. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Detection of HSV DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus.

Drug failure in therapy for AIDS patients has been closely linked with HIV viral resistance. Certain mutations in HIV-1 genes (protease and RT regions) targeted by antiretroviral drugs can confer drug resistance. Genotype testing detects these mutations which produce phenotypic resistance. - Resistance testing is recommended to help guide the choice of new regimens after treatment failure and for guiding therapy for pregnant women. - It should be considered in treatment-naيمج patients with established infection. - Testing also should be considered prior to initiating therapy in patients with acute HIV-1 infection.

Influenza A and B viruses account for more morbidity and mortality than any other respiratory viruses. The elderly as well as persons of any age who have underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease, diabetes or immunosuppressive disease are at increased risk. Cell cultures available for detection of influenza A are unsatisfactory due to the length of time required to grow and identify the virus. Detection of influenza A RNA by PCR is a rapid, sensitive and specific technique for laboratory diagnosis, allowing informed clinical decision making and timely administration of anti-viral agents.Influenza A and B viruses account for more morbidity and mortality than any other respiratory viruses. The elderly as well as persons of any age who have underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease, diabetes or immunosuppressive disease are at increased risk. Cell cultures available for detection of influenza A are unsatisfactory due to the length of time required to grow and identify the virus. Detection of influenza A RNA by PCR is a rapid, sensitive and specific technique for laboratory diagnosis, allowing informed clinical decision making and timely administration of anti-viral agents.RSV is the single most important cause of serious lower respiratory tract disease in infants and children. The two subgroups, A and B, can co-circulate in the same area simultaneously. The elderly who have underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease are also at high risk. RSV can cause severe pneumonia and death in persons with leukemia and bone marrow transplants. It is critical to have an accurate and rapid RSV diagnosis to promptly initiate clinical treatment and infection control. Cell cultures available for detection of RSV are unsatisfactory due to the 5 to 9 days required to grow and identify the virus.Detection of RSV RNA by PCR is a rapid, sensitive and specific technique for laboratory diagnosis.PCR for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB) has already proved to be a useful tool for the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection. For histopathologic investigations, human tissue samples are mostly stored as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks. The molecular amplification techniques can be used in DNA extracted from tissue blocks rule out MTB in tissues stained positive by acid-fast stain, thereby improving diagnosis.

VZV is an important pathogen causing central nervous system infections, especially meningitis in HIV-1 infected patients. Prompt recognition of the presence of VZV is critical to the therapy initiation. Cell cultures have not been reliable for recovering this virus from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Detection of VZV DNA in CSF is now the gold standard for the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system diseases caused by this virus.

WNV is a RNA virus transmitted by mosquitoes. The infection primarily involves birds; humans are incidental hosts. WNV was first recognized in the United States in 1999, when it caused an epidemic of meningoencephalitis on the east coast. It has been reported recently that WNV can be transmitted by organ transplantation. While detection of specific IgM antibody remains the choice of test for diagnosis, molecular testing has been the sensitive and specific testing for screening organs/cells in the transplantation service.

Presence of fetal fibronectin (ffN) in symptomatic women indicates an increased risk for preterm delivery; absence of ffN in symptomatic women indicates decreased intervention. Utilization of ffN testing in symptomatic women may greatly reduce costs associated with treatment of suspected preterm labor. This test has been recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), who currently supports ffN testing as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in symptomatic patients. ffN testing has a positive predictive value of 40-60% and a negative predictive value of 99.5%.
