Understanding CMV (Cytomegalovirus) DNA Detection by RT-PCR

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that usually causes mild or no symptoms in healthy individuals. However, it can lead to severe disease in individuals with weak immune systems, such as transplant recipients. It can also be a concern to pregnant women who can pass the virus to babies, leading to congenital defects.

CMV can remain dormant in the body after the initial infection and may reactivate later, particularly in those with weakened immune defenses. The CMV (Cytomegalovirus) DNA Detection by RT-PCR test...

What does CMV (Cytomegalovirus) DNA Detection by RT-PCR measure?
