Influenza A (H3N2) Virus

The Influenza A (H3N2) Virus test measures the presence of the H3N2 strain of the Influenza A virus in the body. This test detects the viral RNA or antigens specific to H3N2, which is one of the subtypes of Influenza A known to cause seasonal flu outbreaks. It helps identify if an individual is infected with the H3N2 virus, allowing for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This test is important for distinguishing influenza from other respiratory illnesses and guiding healthcare providers in managing flu symptoms and reducing transmission.
