Test Details
The Respiratory Panel 6 test is a diagnostic test used to detect and identify six common respiratory viruses that can cause respiratory infections. These viruses include influenza A and B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and parainfluenza virus.
The test is usually performed on respiratory samples, such as nasal swabs or nasopharyngeal swabs, and uses molecular techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the genetic material of the viruses. It can provide results within a few hours, allowing for prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
The Respiratory Panel 6 test is particularly useful in distinguishing between different respiratory viruses, as their symptoms can often overlap. This helps healthcare providers in determining the appropriate treatment and management plan for patients with respiratory infections.
It is important to note that the Respiratory Panel 6 test only detects the specific viruses included in the panel and does not test for other respiratory pathogens or bacteria. Additional tests may be required if other pathogens are suspected.
