FLU A testing is designed to detect active infections of the influenza A virus. For sample collection, a small swab is inserted into your nostril (nasopharyngeal) or the back of the throat (oropharyngeal) to collect mucosal specimens.
FLU B testing is intended to identify active infections of the influenza B virus. Sample collection is performed similarly, using a small swab inserted into the nostril or the back of the throat for mucosal specimens.
RSV testing is a real-time PCR test used for the qualitative detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) nucleic acids. The RSV detection utilizes the Simplexa RV Direct Gen II assay. Sample collection is done by inserting a small swab into either the nostril (nasopharyngeal), mouth (oropharyngeal), or using your saliva.
