100343-3
LaboratoryInfluenza virus B RNA [Presence] in Saliva (oral fluid) by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This is a real-time RT-PCR for qualitative detection Influenza B virus RNA in saliva specimens. The test could be a single assay or part of a multiplex panel to detect Influenza B virus and other pathogens. The test could target a single Influenza B virus gene (e.g., the NS1 gene) or it could target multiple genes.
