CertifiedLabsWhat Is a Test?
Flu, short for influenza, is a respiratory infection caused by viruses, mainly types A and B. It spreads easily, especially during the winter months when people are indoors more often. You can get the flu from someone who coughs or sneezes, or by touching surfaces that have the virus on them and then touching your face.
The Influenza Virus Panel - Real Time PCR test involves taking a sample from your nose using a swab. If you test positive, they may prescribe antiviral medicine, which works best when started within two days of feeling sick. This medicine can help reduce symptoms and shorten the duration of the illness.
Common flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. Most people recover within a week or two, but the flu can be particularly serious for certain groups, like young children, older adults, and those with chronic health conditions.
