Turnaround time is rapid – around 4 hours 20 minutes using the standard BOND protocol, enabling the rapid turnaround of results vs. typical overnight protocols or outsourced testing, for improved patient care.

Background
Cytomegalovirus CMV is a member of the Beta Herpes Virus family, transmitted via body fluids, and can establish primary infection, latent infection and subsequent viral reactivation.

CMV is a common opportunistic pathogen, capable of causing serious disease in immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS patients, transplant patients and in neonates.

Congenital CMV is a result of intrauterine infection and although the majority of children are asymptomatic, congenital CMV can result in sensorineural hearing loss, cognitive, motor and visual deficits and seizures.
