Test Overview & Methodology
This qualitative molecular assay detects adenovirus RNA with extraordinary precision directly from respiratory specimens, enabling early diagnosis of adenoviral infections ranging from mild coryza to severe pneumonia. The test integrates gold‑standard Real‑Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) with optional Whole Genome Sequencing for strain‑level surveillance, fully aligned with DHA diagnostic protocols.
| Feature | Adenovirus RNA PCR (Our Test) | Traditional Adenovirus Culture |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9% sensitivity/specificity | 60–70% sensitivity, strain‑dependent |
| Technology | qPCR + confirmatory WGS | Cell culture (slow, labour‑intensive) |
| Turnaround | 36–48 hours (phone/email) | 7–21 days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Important Medication Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including antivirals or immunosuppressants, without direct consultation with your treating physician. This test result alone is not a basis for altering your therapeutic regimen.
Safety Criteria – When to Seek Immediate Care
- Exclusion from home collection: Patients with acute respiratory distress, oxygen saturation <92% on room air, or altered consciousness are NOT eligible for mobile phlebotomy; proceed directly to the nearest emergency department.
- ER red flags: Severe difficulty breathing, stridor at rest, cyanosis (blue lips/fingertips), confusion, or fever >40 °C (104 °F) require immediate emergency assessment.
- Paediatric caution: For children <12 years, rapid deterioration can occur; if your child shows nasal flaring, grunting, or chest retractions, seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive Adenovirus RNA Qualitative result mean for my health?
A positive result indicates active adenovirus RNA replication, confirming an ongoing infection that can cause respiratory, gastrointestinal, or ocular illness. Your physician will correlate the finding with your symptoms, medical history, and possibly serotype testing. Not all strains lead to severe disease; many resolve spontaneously with supportive care. However, immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying lung disease should follow up urgently.
2. How long does it take to get the results and are they accurate?
The final result is issued within 48 hours via email (or 36 hours via phone), with over 99.9% accuracy thanks to certified qPCR technology. This test represents the gold standard for detecting adenovirus RNA and is far more sensitive than traditional culture. Positive cases are sometimes confirmed via Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to ensure the highest level of certainty.
3. Can I take this test while on antibiotics or antivirals?
Yes, antibiotics and most antivirals do not interfere with adenovirus RNA detection, but you must inform your doctor about all medications. Antiviral drugs like cidofovir are sometimes used off‑label for severe adenovirus; their presence does not invalidate PCR results. However, never stop prescribed treatment. Our clinical team can advise on medication‑related questions during the post‑test telephonic guidance.
4. Can this test be performed on children, and what are the conditions?
Yes, the test can be performed on children of all ages with parental consent, using a gentle nasopharyngeal swab. The sample is collected by a specialized nurse at home following strict safety procedures. If severe respiratory symptoms are present, the doctor may recommend hospital evaluation instead of home testing.
