Virus Testing
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive array of virus tests to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Our cutting-edge laboratory facilities and expert medical team ensure accurate and timely diagnoses for a range of viral infections. Among the tests we conduct are those for COVID-19, utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with high sensitivity and specificity. This test plays a crucial role in managing the current pandemic, enabling early identification of cases, contact tracing, and appropriate public health measures.
In addition to COVID-19 testing, we offer a Monkeypox PCR Test, designed to identify the Monkeypox virus swiftly and accurately. This test is essential for diagnosing this rare viral infection, particularly in areas where Monkeypox outbreaks occur sporadically.

FAQs
Virus tests are diagnostic procedures used to detect the presence of viral infections in the body. These tests can identify specific viruses causing illnesses such as flu, COVID-19, and other viral infections.
There are various types of virus tests, including PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests, antigen tests, antibody tests, and viral culture tests. Each test type serves different purposes, from detecting current infections to past exposure.
The accuracy of virus tests depends on the type of test used and the timing of the sample collection. PCR tests are highly accurate for detecting active infections, while antibody tests indicate past infection or immune response.
Virus tests typically require a sample collection, such as a nasal swab, throat swab, blood sample, or saliva sample. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect viral genetic material, antigens, or antibodies.
You should consider getting tested for viruses if you develop symptoms consistent with a viral infection, have been exposed to someone with a viral illness, or if required for travel or workplace requirements.
The turnaround time for virus test results varies depending on the type of test and the laboratory’s processing time. PCR tests typically provide results within a few hours to a few days, while antigen tests may provide results within minutes to hours.
Yes, virus test results are confidential and protected by privacy laws. They are only shared with you and authorized healthcare providers involved in your care.
Yes, COVID-19 virus tests, such as PCR and antigen tests, are specifically designed to diagnose current infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
