How often should Herpes Simplex Virus DNA PCR - Qualitative be repeated?
Infection tests are ordered when symptoms are present rather than on a fixed schedule. Repeat testing may be needed to confirm recovery, to check clearance after treatment, or if fever recurs. During Lucknow's monsoon fever season, prompt retesting is advised for any new febrile illness.
