Interpretive Data

Zika Virus by PCR is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Zika virus RNA from individuals meeting CDC Zika virus clinical criteria (e.g., clinical signs and symptoms associated with Zika virus infection) and/or CDC Zika virus epidemiological criteria (e.g., history of residence in or travel to a geographic region with active Zika transmission at the time of travel, or other epidemiologic criteria for which Zika virus testing may be indicated).

Diagnostic testing for Zika virus infection should be performed as outlined by current CDC guidance.

If serologic testing is needed as a follow-up to PCR, contact ARUP client services to order Zika Virus IgM Antibody Capture (MAC), by ELISA (ARUP test code 2013942). Additional charges apply.
