Understanding Influenza & COVID-19

COVID-19 & influenza are highly infectious diseases that affect the upper respiratory tract, although COVID-19 is more contagious. The world is still dealing with the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 

Approximately 1 billion cases of influenza in humans are identified each year by the World Health Organization (WHO), and almost 290,000 to 650,000 deaths are caused by influenza, also known as the flu. Given the progress in science and medicine, this is a very large number, as these deaths can be easily prevented by early detection and proper treatment of the patients.

Tests included in the influenza profile test

The influenza screening test provided by Orange Health Labs consists of five tests aimed at identifying viral infections, like:

1. H1N1

2. Influenza A

3. Influenza B

4. H3N2

5. COVID-19

Influenza, triggered by the influenza virus, is categorized into three primary types: Influenza A, B, & C. Influenza A & B typically display more severe symptoms and follow a seasonal pattern, often peaking in the winter. In contrast, influenza C tends to produce milder symptoms and maintains a relatively steady presence throughout the year. Subtypes of influenza A include H1N1, commonly referred to as "swine flu," and H3N2. Conversely, COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus identified in 2019.

If the timely detection of these infections does not take place, it may lead to serious complications like pneumonia, sinus infections, bronchitis, or ear infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems, the elderly, or young children. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, get your h1n1 flu test done immediately to rule out these diseases.

Virus symptoms & transmission

Influenza symptoms may appear suddenly, and some of the common ones include: 

• Cough 

• Sore throat 

• Fever  

• Feeling feverish/chills 

• Headache 

• Fatigue 

• Runny nose 

• Body aches
  
  

Vomiting and diarrhoea can also be observed in children. In some cases, a fever may or may not occur. Both influenza & COVID-19 spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or even talks. Influenza spreads easily, and a person may spread the disease up to 7 days after the onset of the disease. Therefore if you show any symptoms book an influenza diagnostic test in Hyderabad with Orange Health Labs.

Timely testing & its impact on early detection & prevention of influenza flu

In addition to vaccination for influenza, the key to mitigating its impact, especially in the context of COVID-19, lies in efficient management and prompt antiviral treatment, ideally administered within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Furthermore, while influenza can manifest with a wide range of symptoms, a notable percentage of influenza patients, approximately 4% to 28%, may remain asymptomatic. With Orange Health Labs you can detect the presence of influenza early on by opting for an influenza diagnostic test, including h3n2 test influenza strains.

Relevance of timely treatment, isolation, & disease control

Influenza and COVID-19 are extremely contagious illnesses, and it is crucial to have efficient monitoring and detection methods in place for their treatment and control. It is advised to take antiviral medications within 48 hours of the condition starting and be up-to-date on your vaccines to avoid the development of complications, especially in high-risk individuals.  Self-quarantine is an essential measure to minimize the transmission of these illnesses along with regular influenza screening tests. Various tests can be performed to confirm the existence of the disease as a part of the diagnostic process.
