Influenza A Virus

The Influenza A Virus test  measures the presence of the Influenza A virus, a highly contagious virus that causes flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, and body aches. This test detects viral RNA or antigens specific to Influenza A using  nasopharyngeal swab sample, helping to diagnose infections and allowing for early treatment. It is useful for distinguishing influenza from other respiratory illnesses, guiding appropriate management, and preventing complications. The test is particularly valuable during flu season or when rapid diagnosis is needed to control the spread of the virus.
