Marburg can be detected through four main diagnostic tests that are used at different stages of infection. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the main diagnostic method because it will detect RNA with high sensitivity and specificity, importantly in early stages of infection. ANtigen detecting tests identify viral proteins and are important for rapid testing during outbreaks. Serological tests will detect antibodies against Marburg virus. This test is most important during the later stages of infection or after the clearing of the virus. Virus isolation is the separating pf the live virus from patient samples. This type of test can only be done in maximum containment labs due to high risk of infection (WHO, 2024; CDC, 2024; Brauburger et al., 2012).
