.
How is cytopathic effect detected?
Cell culture remains as the golden standard for primary isolation of viruses in clinical specimens. In the current practice, researchers have to recognize the cytopathic effects (CPE) induced by virus infection and subsequently
use virus-specific monoclonal antibody
to confirm the presence of virus.
What is the next step after being diagnosed with HPV?
If you got a positive HPV test and your Pap test was abnormal,
your doctor will probably follow up with a colposcopy

Do I need a colposcopy if I have HPV?
If you test positive for HPV 16/18, you will need to have a colposcopy
. If you test positive for HPV (but did not have genotyping performed or had genotyping and tested negative for 16/18), you will likely have a colposcopy.

Most strains of HPV go away permanently without treatment. Because of this, it isn’t uncommon to contract and clear the virus completely without ever knowing that you had it. HPV doesn’t always cause symptoms, so the only way to be sure of your status is through
regular testing
. HPV screening for men isn’t available.

After a colposcopy,
your colposcopist will usually be able to tell you what they have found straight away

What happens if you have HPV for 3 years?
How long after contracting HPV will you test positive?

after exposure to the infection.
Does HSV isolated mean positive?

Guidelines are based on the knowledge that herpes is usually transmitted by direct contact but may also be spread by droplets.
Obstetric inpatients with evidence of HSV infection, including lesions or a positive culture, should be given a private room and bathroom.
Which virus causes cytopathic effect of cytoplasmic vacuolization?
Cytoplasmic vacuolization is a commonly noted response in cells infected with the cytopathic biotype of
BVDV
.
What term is used to describe viruses that can cause cancers?
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV)
Most people are infected with MCV at some point (often in childhood), and it usually causes no symptoms. But in a few people with this infection, the virus can affect the DNA inside cells, which can lead to Merkel cell cancer.
