Test Cost: AED 700.0
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is available at a cost of AED 700.0.
Symptoms
Patients who are experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing, may benefit from the RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test.
Diagnosis
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is a valuable tool in diagnosing respiratory infections. By detecting and identifying the specific respiratory viruses causing the infection, healthcare providers can determine the most appropriate treatment options for the patient.
Test Components
- Moraxella catarrhalis
- Bordetella pertussis
- Influenza C
- Haemophilus influenzae
Sample Condition
For the RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test, throat/nasal swabs in special collection medium available from LPL or 5 mL (3 mL min.) sputum/bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in a sterile screw capped container should be submitted. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen.
Report Delivery
Sample should be submitted on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday by 9 am. The report will be delivered on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday.
Method
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is performed using Real Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction).
Test Type
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test falls under the category of Infections.
Doctor
The test can be ordered by a Physician or a Chest Physician.
Test Department
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before taking the RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test.
Test Details
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is specifically designed to detect and identify the following respiratory viruses:
- Influenza A virus
- Influenza B virus
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
- Adenovirus
- Parainfluenza virus
- Human metapneumovirus (hMPV)
- Rhinovirus
- Coronavirus
By identifying the specific virus causing the respiratory infection, healthcare providers can determine the most appropriate treatment options for the patient. Additionally, this test can help in the management of outbreaks and the prevention of the spread of respiratory viruses in healthcare settings.
The RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is typically performed using a respiratory sample, such as a nasopharyngeal swab or a sputum sample. The sample is then analyzed using molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to detect and identify the presence of the respiratory viruses.
Overall, the RESPIRATORY PANEL 8 Test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of respiratory infections, allowing for more targeted and effective treatment options.
