Interpretive Data

The possibility of false-positive or false-negative results must be considered. RT-PCR testing on both a serum and urine specimen is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to rule out false-negative IgM results in patients experiencing symptoms for less than 2 weeks. Specimens collected for IgM testing greater than or equal to 2 weeks after symptom onset do not require any additional testing. For more information, please review the current clinical guidelines for Zika virus testing at: www.cdc.gov/zika/.
