Test Details
The H3N2 and Influenza B qualitative PCR test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of H3N2 and Influenza B viruses in a patient’s respiratory sample. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction, which is a technique used to amplify and detect specific DNA or RNA sequences.
In this test, a respiratory sample, usually obtained through a nasal or throat swab, is collected from the patient. The sample is then processed in the laboratory, where the viral genetic material is extracted. The PCR technique is then used to amplify specific regions of the H3N2 and Influenza B viruses’ genetic material, if present in the sample.
The PCR reaction involves multiple cycles of heating and cooling, which allows for the replication of the target viral genetic material. Fluorescent probes or dyes are used to detect the amplified viral genetic material. If the H3N2 or Influenza B viruses are present in the sample, the PCR reaction will produce a positive result, indicating an active infection.
The H3N2 and Influenza B qualitative PCR test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately detect the presence of these specific influenza viruses. It is commonly used during flu seasons to diagnose influenza infections and guide appropriate treatment.
