What is it indicated for?

The Light Diagnostics TM HSV 1/2 Typing DFA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and identification of herpes simplex virus type I and/or type 2 in direct specimens from patients with vesicular lesions and symptoms consistent with herpes infection and for culture confirmation by immunofluorescence. Negative results do not preclude an infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. Specimens found negative on direct specimen detection should be confirmed by culture.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
