74786-5
LaboratoryInfluenza virus B Yamagata lineage RNA [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
For the qualitative assay of influenza virus type B viral RNA. In the upper respiratory tract clinical specimens to include: nasopharyngeal swabs, nasal swabs, throat swabs, nasal aspirates, nasal washes and dual nasopharyngeal/throat swabs. Possible lower respiratory tract specimens include bronchoalveolar lavage, bronchial washings, tracheal aspirate, sputum, and lung tissue from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This assay identifies the genetic lineage of human influenza B viruses B/Yamagata. This term was developed for, but not limited in use to, the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel.
