CPT code 87511 refers to a laboratory test for the detection of specific viral infections, particularly the nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for the identification of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. This code is used for testing specimens such as swabs from lesions or fluid samples, allowing for the diagnosis of HSV infections. The procedure is significant for its accuracy and efficiency in identifying active infections.
