Influenza Test Gurgaon Details

Assessing the public health impact of influenza and covid-19 

Both COVID-19 and influenza are infectious respiratory diseases, although they are brought on by different viruses. The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 and the influenza virus (flu virus) causes the flu. Influenza viruses are of several types and are also responsible for respiratory infections like H1N1 and H3N2.

These infections usually present with similar respiratory symptoms, however, in some people, COVID-19 can result in a more serious illness than the flu. People with COVID-19 infection may take longer than those with the flu to manifest symptoms and may remain contagious for longer periods. The public health impact of influenza and COVID-19 can be significant. Both viruses can cause serious illness and death, especially in vulnerable populations such as those with chronic diseases like heart or lung disease, diabetes and hypertension. These individuals may develop life-threatening conditions with a massive need for hospitalization. As evident in the COVID-19 pandemic, there were severe mental, social and financial impacts on the lives of people as well. During the pandemic, many people have suffered from loneliness, anxiety, missed work and school, economic losses and loss of livelihoods. If you're experiencing severe flu-like symptoms, you must get an influenza diagnostic test done with Orange Health Labs.

Eligibility to get an influenza panel test in Gurgaon

You should undergo the influenza test in case of the presence of flu-like symptoms or suspected infection.

A timely diagnosis with a flu test will aid in initiating early and appropriate treatment and reduce your chances of developing a serious illness. 

Additionally, in case you’ve recently travelled from one place (city / town / state / country) to another, you have a risk of being around an infected population, and you should consider getting screening done, to be prepared beforehand. Moreover, if the flu is common in your area or you have been in close touch with someone who is sick, you may get a flu test in Gurgaon done to find out your infection status and mentally be at peace.

Timely testing for influenza test enables early detection & prevention

In order to differentiate between the various respiratory viral infections such as influenza, COVID-19, H3N2 and H1NI, an influenza diagnostic test is essential. Timely testing for these infections is crucial for early detection, which aids in managing symptoms and preventing the progression of the condition to a severe stage. Also, antiviral treatment that may be needed for severe infections such as COVID, should be started preferably within the first 48 hours of symptom onset, in order to avoid serious sequelae. This is more important for high-risk populations such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, and people with co-occurring conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or lung disease. Thus, timely testing helps in providing the right treatment at the initial stage of infection itself.

Additionally, in order to stop the virus from spreading throughout communities, early detection and timely testing with Orange Health Lab’s flu profile test can aid in contact tracing and isolation measures and prevent major outbreaks. 

Why timely treatment, isolation, & disease control are critical

As discussed, early detection using flu panel test aids in timely treatment, isolation and control of disease. Let’s see how these are important:

• Timely Treatment: In order to lessen the effects of seasonal influenza, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, early detection and timely treatment for the illness including the initiation of antiviral medicine within 48 hours of symptom onset is crucial. This prevents the worsening of the condition and helps avoid serious complications that may occur.  
  
  

• Isolation: Since these infections are highly contagious, it's crucial to keep oneself apart from uninfected people. This highlights the necessity of isolation in order to stop the disease from spreading, particularly in the early stages. Quick testing helps stop the spread of infection by identifying infected individuals and facilitating isolation. 
  
  

• Disease Control: Timely testing with the influenza test in Gurgaon can aid in preventing the spread of infection at a mass level by facilitating contact tracing and making containment strategies at a mass level. 
  
  

Always keep in mind that the ideal approach to stay healthy and safeguard your loved ones is to get checked by the influenza diagnostic test in Gurgaon as soon as you start exhibiting symptoms of the flu. 

Flu symptoms & ways of spread

In terms of symptoms, COVID-19 and the flu can both range from being asymptomatic to having severe symptoms. The following are common flu and COVID-19 symptoms:

• Experiencing chills or feeling feverish 

• Diarrhoea, which is more common in children with the flu but can affect anyone of any age with COVID-19 

• Cough 

• Body aches or muscle aches 

• Shortness of breath 

• Frustration (weariness) 

• Taste or scent alteration or loss, albeit this occurs more frequently with COVID-19. 

• Sore throat 

• Congested nose 

• Headache 

• Vomiting 

Both COVID-19 and influenza can result in mild to severe symptoms as well as certain major or even fatal side effects like pneumonia, heart disease and other lung problems. 

People who are nearby or in close touch with infected individuals run the risk of contracting COVID-19 or the flu. The most common method of transmission is through inhalation of both large and small droplets. Large and small virus-containing particles that are released when people with respiratory infections cough, sneeze, or talk are the main means of transmission. 

It is also possible to become infected through direct contact with another person (such as shaking hands with someone who has the virus on their hands) or by touching a surface or object that has the virus before touching one's mouth, nose, or eyes. People close may get these particles in their mouths or noses, which could lead to respiratory tract inhalation. Small particles containing viruses may travel further under certain conditions, such as inadequately ventilated indoors, and transmit illnesses.
