When is the Test Prescribed?

Causes:
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is caused by influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract. The virus spreads through droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can also be contracted by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.

Symptoms:

These symptoms can range from mild to severe and may lead to complications, especially in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Prevention:

Preventive measures include:

Annual influenza vaccination

Regular handwashing with soap and water

Using alcohol-based hand sanitisers

Avoiding close contact with infected individuals

Covering mouth and nose while coughing or sneezing

Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces

The Influenza Panel Test is prescribed when individuals present with flu-like symptoms, especially during peak seasons or outbreaks. Early diagnosis through this test aids in effective management and containment of the virus.

Understanding the Test Result

The Influenza Panel Test results are categorised as either positive or negative for each virus strain tested.

Influenza Panel Positive: A positive result indicates the presence of influenza viral RNA in the sample, confirming an active infection. Identifying the specific strain (e.g., H1N1 or H3N2) helps tailor the treatment plan and implement appropriate infection control measures.

Influenza Panel Negative: A negative result suggests the absence of detectable influenza viral RNA at the time of testing. However, if symptoms persist, further evaluation may be necessary to rule out other respiratory pathogens or consider retesting.

Influenza Panel Normal Range: In the context of this qualitative test, a "normal" result refers to a negative finding for all tested influenza strains, indicating no current infection.

Understanding the test outcomes enables healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding patient care, including the initiation of antiviral therapy, isolation protocols, and monitoring for potential complications.

Time Required for the Test Report + Next Steps

At Max Lab, the Influenza Panel Test is conducted with precision and efficiency. After sample collection, the test results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours. This rapid turnaround time ensures timely medical intervention, which is crucial in managing influenza infections.

Upon receiving a positive result, it is imperative to consult a healthcare professional promptly. Early treatment can mitigate symptoms, reduce the risk of complications, and prevent the spread of the virus to others. In the case of a negative result but persistent symptoms, further medical evaluation may be necessary to explore other causes or consider retesting.
