Symptoms and Diagnosis
Respiratory infections can cause various symptoms such as cough, sore throat, fever, and difficulty breathing. The RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test can help healthcare providers diagnose these infections by detecting the presence of specific pathogens.
Test Components
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Legionella
- Pneumocystis jiroveci
- Salmonella species
Sample Condition
To perform the RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test, you need to submit throat or nasal swabs in a special collection medium available from LPL. Alternatively, you can provide 5 mL (minimum 3 mL) of sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in a sterile screw-capped container. Please ensure that the samples are shipped refrigerated or frozen.
Report Delivery
Sample collection is done on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 9 am. The test report will be delivered on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Method
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test uses Real Time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method for accurate and reliable results.
Test Type
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test is specifically designed for detecting and identifying respiratory infections.
Test Department
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test is conducted in our Molecular Diagnostics department by experienced professionals.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before taking the RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test.
Test Details
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test is a multiplex PCR test that simultaneously tests for seven different respiratory viruses and bacteria. It can detect the following pathogens:
- Influenza A virus
- Influenza B virus
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
- Human metapneumovirus (HMPV)
- Rhinovirus
- Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough)
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae
By detecting the presence of these pathogens in a respiratory sample, the RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test helps healthcare providers diagnose respiratory infections and determine appropriate treatment options. This test is particularly useful during flu season or outbreaks of respiratory infections.
Doctor
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 7 Test can be ordered by physicians, particularly chest physicians who specialize in respiratory health.
