Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test to measure the amount of metapneumovirus in a patient’s respiratory samples. This diagnostic test is essential for identifying and monitoring metapneumovirus infections.
Test Details
The Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test is a molecular diagnostic test that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect and quantify the genetic material of the metapneumovirus in the patient’s sample. It is particularly useful in immunocompromised patients, young children, and the elderly who may be at a higher risk of developing severe complications from metapneumovirus infection.
Components and Price
The test costs AED 1700.0 and requires respiratory samples such as bronchial swab, bronchial lavage, sputum, nasopharyngeal (NP) aspirates and swabs in viral transport medium, or lung tissues.
Report Delivery
The test report is delivered via email within 3 working days (36 hours) and can also be obtained over the phone within 24 hours.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, patients need to sign a consent document and bring any relevant clinical history of the patient for the Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Metapneumovirus is a common respiratory virus that can cause symptoms similar to those of the common cold or flu, including cough, fever, and congestion. The Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test is used to differentiate metapneumovirus infection from other respiratory infections with similar symptoms.
Doctor and Test Department
The test is conducted by a physician in our Genetics department.
Test Results and Interpretation
The test results are reported as a numerical value, indicating the number of viral copies present in the patient’s sample. A higher viral load typically indicates a more severe infection. However, it is important to note that the viral load alone does not determine the severity of symptoms or the prognosis of the infection, as other factors, such as the patient’s immune response, also play a role.
Overall, the Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring metapneumovirus infections, allowing healthcare providers to provide appropriate treatment and care to affected individuals.

The Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test is a diagnostic test used to measure the amount of metapneumovirus in a patient’s respiratory samples, such as nasal swabs or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Metapneumovirus is a common respiratory virus that can cause symptoms similar to those of the common cold or flu, including cough, fever, and congestion. The test uses molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to detect and quantify the genetic material of the metapneumovirus in the patient’s sample. By measuring the viral load, healthcare providers can assess the severity of the infection and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. The Metapneumonia Viral Load Quantitative Test is particularly useful in immunocompromised patients, young children, and the elderly who may be at a higher risk of developing severe complications from metapneumovirus infection. It can also be used to differentiate metapneumovirus infection from other respiratory infections with similar symptoms.
