&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;This test, known as Zika Virus PCR, (urine), is essential for qualitatively detecting Zika virus RNA in paired urine and serum samples from individuals who meet the CDC&#39;s Zika virus clinical or epidemiologic criteria. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;It identifies Zika virus RNA in urine collected during the acute infection phase and is recommended alongside testing for dengue and chikungunya viruses due to similar clinical presentations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The US FDA mandates testing urine specimens alongside paired serum samples. This Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)/DNA Probe Hybridization method aids in diagnosing Zika virus infection, particularly in regions prone to vector-borne illnesses and microcephaly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;USEFUL FOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Detecting Zika virus RNA qualitatively in serum from individuals who meet the clinical or epidemiologic criteria outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIGHLIGHTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;It offers qualitative identification of Zika virus RNA from urine gathered during the acute infection stage. Given similar symptoms, it&#39;s strongly advised to test for RNA or IgM-class antibodies for dengue and chikungunya viruses alongside Zika virus testing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
