Test Overview

The Respiratory Pathogen Panel 9 (RPP9) utilizes multiplex real-time PCR and confirmatory Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to detect 9 common viral and bacterial respiratory pathogens from a single nasopharyngeal swab, sputum, or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimen. In the UAE, this test is critical for differentiating between COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and other co-infections, enabling targeted therapy and epidemiological surveillance.

Feature Our RPP9 Test Closest Alternative
Methodology Multiplex Real-Time PCR (qPCR) + Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Standard Multiplex PCR without WGS confirmation
Turnaround Time 24–48 hours (report Tue/Thu/Sat) 72–96 hours
Sensitivity 99.9% (LoD: ≤1 copy/µL) ~95% (varies per pathogen)
Specimen Stability Refrigerated transport in viral transport medium Often ambient, risk of RNA degradation
Price 2500 AED 1800–2200 AED (without WGS or clinical guidance)

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol

Clinical Correlation Note from Dr. Prabhakar Reddy (DHA License: 61713011): “While this panel provides high-precision pathogen identification, clinical correlation is essential; a negative result does not exclude infection from non-targeted organisms or sampling timing errors. Always interpret results alongside full clinical history and radiological findings. Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician; abrupt cessation can precipitate severe exacerbations.”

⚠️ Medication Warning

Do not discontinue any prescribed medication (e.g., bronchodilators, antivirals, corticosteroids) without explicit consultation with your doctor. This test is diagnostic and does not replace therapeutic management.

🚨 Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

  • Specimens collected in non-viral transport medium or with >24‑hour delay at room temperature will be rejected.
  • Patients with severe coagulopathy or anticoagulant therapy where nasopharyngeal swab could cause bleeding require physician clearance.
  • Children unable to cooperate – consult pediatrician for alternative collection method.
  • Emergency Red Flags (seek immediate care): Acute respiratory distress, SpO₂ <90% on room air, cyanosis, altered mental status, severe intercostal retractions.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

What pathogens does the Respiratory Panel 9 detect?

Snippet: Our RPP9 panel detects nine common respiratory pathogens including Influenza A, Influenza B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza 1-3, Human Metapneumovirus, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae via high-fidelity multiplex PCR.

The panel targets a curated set of high-prevalence pathogens responsible for the majority of community-acquired respiratory infections in the UAE. Whole Genome Sequencing is automatically performed for positive results to identify variants and potential antimicrobial resistance markers, ensuring your clinician has the most actionable data for treatment decisions.

كيف يتم جمع العينة لتحليل لوحة الجهاز التنفسي 9؟

الموجز: يتم جمع مسحة من البلعوم الأنفي أو عينة من البلغم أو سائل غسيل القصبات وفقاً للمعايير السريرية.

يقوم فريق التجميع المنزلي المعتمد من هيئة الصحة بدبي بأخذ المسحة باستخدام وسط نقل فيروسي خاص، أو يمكن توصيل عينة البلغم المعقمة إلى المختبر مبردة. لا يُسمح بالعينات المحفوظة بدرجة حرارة الغرفة لأكثر من ساعتين. يتم نقل العينات بنظام السلسلة الباردة المعتمدة ISO لضمان الاستقرار الجزيئي.

Is fasting or any special preparation required?

Snippet: No fasting or special preparation is needed for the Respiratory Panel 9; you may eat and drink normally before sample collection.

However, inform our phlebotomist if you have taken antiviral medication or received any respiratory vaccines within 14 days, as this may influence detection sensitivity. Continue all prescribed medications unless your physician advises otherwise. For children, a parent or legal guardian must be present during collection to comply with UAE CDS Law 2026.
