The
goal of Eastern Virginia Medical School's Molecular Pathology
Lab
is to apply nucleic acid technology for diagnosis and disease
management of patients using state-of-the-art nucleic acid amplification
techniques such as polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to detect
minute quantities of specific DNA or RNA. The Molecular Pathology Lab strives
to be a valuable resource for the medical community of Hampton
Roads. However the laboratory receives and accepts specimens
for testing from other states too. For further information or to send
a specimen for testing call (757) 446-5792. New diagnostic assays are under
development and will be posted as soon they are available.
The following diagnostic assays are available at the present:
Infectious
Diseases
DNA
Viruses (All PCR assays are quantitative)
Epstein-Barr
virus (EBV)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and -2)
