Test Overview & Methodology
This comprehensive molecular panel detects influenza A/B and SARS-CoV-2 viruses from a single nasopharyngeal swab using multiplex real-time RT-PCR with confirmatory whole genome sequencing. The test differentiates Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) from COVID-19 with near-perfect accuracy, aligned with international DHA guidelines.
| Feature | Our ILI & SARS-CoV-2 Panel | Standard Antigen Test |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% Sensitivity & 100% Specificity (RT-PCR + WGS) | ~70-90% Sensitivity, rapid but false negatives |
| Method | Multiplex Real-Time RT-PCR (qPCR) + Whole Genome Sequencing | Lateral flow immunoassay |
| Turnaround | Report within 2 days (sample by 11 AM) | 15–30 minutes |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a clinician, I emphasize that test results must be correlated with symptoms, exposure history, and vaccination status. False negatives can occur if the sample is collected too early; always consult your physician for interpretation. Never stop prescribed treatments based solely on a negative result.” — Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA License: 36234132)
⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Inability to provide nasopharyngeal swab due to recent nasal surgery or severe coagulopathy (consult physician).
- Patients under heavy sedation or with severe epistaxis requiring active management.
- Children under 1 year of age must have sample collected by a pediatric specialist with parental consent.
🚨 Seek emergency care if experiencing: difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips/face.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How quickly can I receive my ILI & SARS-CoV-2 panel results?
