| Clinical Info |
Babesia microti PCR is the recommended test for all suspected cases of babesiosis. This test was developed by Northwell Health Laboratories and approved by NYS – Department of Health. This assay provides significantly faster turnaround time and more accurate results than traditional blood smears. IMPORTANT: “Babesia microti PCR" does NOT provide information about the parasitic burden. If quantification is required, “Parasitemia” should be ordered with “Babesia microti PCR", or on known Babesia positive patients. |
