The BK virus qualitative test is a laboratory test that detects the presence or absence of the BK virus in a patients sample. The BK virus is a common virus that can cause infections in immunocompromised individuals. The test is performed using a sample of urine or blood, and the presence of the virus is detected using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology. The results of the test can help diagnose and monitor BK virus infections in patients.
