General Information
The Stanford Clinical Virology Laboratory offers a range of culture, antigen and molecular test procedures for the diagnosis of viral and chlamydia infections. We provide clinical technical expertise in a setting where the test procedures are incorporated into the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disease state of immuno-compromised patients such as patients receiving chemotherapy, transplant patients and HIV. The services we provide include virus isolation and identification, rapid detection of viral antigens and determination of viral antibody response. Molecular methods are a major improvement in diagnosis of viral infections. These methods have superior sensitivity and rapid turnaround times compared with conventional diagnostic methods and play a critical role in testing protocols for managing viral infections.
