Test Overview & Methodology
This multiplex qualitative panel simultaneously identifies and differentiates RNA from Bordetella pertussis, Legionella pneumophila, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae using high‑sensitivity Real‑Time PCR. The assay delivers actionable results within 36–48 hours, enabling prompt, targeted antimicrobial therapy and infection control decisions. Preferred specimens include nasopharyngeal swab, bronchoalveolar lavage, and sputum.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How soon can I expect Bordetella Multiplex PCR results, and how accurate are they for whooping cough?
The multiplex PCR test achieves 99.9% sensitivity and results within 36–48 hours for all four pathogens. It is highly reliable for confirming Bordetella pertussis infection.
2. Can I take this test if I have already started antibiotics for a respiratory infection?
Yes, antibiotics do not affect PCR RNA detection, so the test remains accurate even if you are currently taking antibiotics.
3. Is this PCR panel suitable for children and what are the sample collection requirements?
Yes, the panel is safe for children. A nasopharyngeal swab is collected by trained medical staff. Home collection is available for all age groups.
