78922-2
LaboratoryRespiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel - Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This respiratory pathogens panel detects and identifies respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from patients suspected of respiratory tract infections. Respiratory pathogens cause acute disease of varying severity and diagnosis based on clinical symptoms alone is difficult. Identification of causative agents aids in patient treatment and public health response for disease containment.
