Molecular Virology Department

The department of Molecular Virology offers diagnostic services for the detection of neurotropic viruses such as Herpesviruses and Enteroviruses. Viruses are detected primarily by using high quality serology methods that define specific antibodies against HSV1, HSV2, EBV, CMV, VZV, Adenoviruses, Parvoviruses and Enteroviruses, in the human serum. Taking into consideration the clinical symptoms and the serology results, further studies such as detection of viral genome, DNA or RNA, in the serum of the patient confirm viral infection.
