Virology Lab

The Virology Lab uses state-of-the-art technology to isolate and identify viral and chlamydia pathogens. Traditional culture methods are used to detect any viral pathogens that might be present. Rapid testing for detection of certain infections is performed to provide results for timely patient management and therapy decisions. Rapid testing is performed for RSV, adenovirus and influenza. Virology also evaluates the body's immune response to infection by measuring a variety of abnormal antibody responses, including those of allergic diseases.
