    What is a Influenza Profile - Comprehensive ?

    The Influenza test plays a crucial role in identifying whether you are infected with the flu virus, specifically the A or B strains, which are the most common culprits behind seasonal flu outbreaks. This viral illness usually manifests during winter and is easily transmitted through coughing, sneezing, or contact with contaminated surfaces. Although flu symptoms may mimic those of the common cold—such as a runny nose and cough—they are generally more severe and can lead to serious health issues.

    When flu is suspected, this test aids in confirming the diagnosis. If the test results are positive, medications may be prescribed to combat the virus and manage your symptoms.

    Our Comprehensive Influenza Package is designed to identify flu caused by both influenza A and B, as well as specific strains like H1N1, H3N2, and COVID-19. If you're in Delhi and experiencing symptoms like headaches, body aches, a sore throat, or fever, this package can help pinpoint the cause. Book an Influenza test in Delhi today for an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

    Influenza Profile - Comprehensive Parameters

    COVID -19 RT PCR

    This test is used to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. It uses a method known as Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) to identify the virus's genetic material in a sample taken from the patient's respiratory tract. It is highly accurate and is the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19.

    Influenza Virus Panel - Real Time PCR

    This is a diagnostic panel that uses real-time PCR technology to detect and differentiate between Influenza A, Influenza B, H1N1, and H3N2. It helps in the rapid and accurate diagnosis of influenza and its subtypes.

    A Flu test may also be necessary to help public health officials or doctors identify the cause of a respiratory illness outbreak in a community, such as in schools or nursing homes. Additionally, specialised Flu tests can determine the specific flu virus responsible for the infection.

    If you are showing flu-like symptoms such as sudden fever, dry cough, headache, sore throat, chills, runny nose, muscle aches, fatigue, or loss of appetite, it may be advisable to consult your doctor about the need for an Influenza test. Although many people recover from the flu within a week or two without undergoing testing, certain circumstances might prompt your doctor to suggest it.

    Risk factors that might justify an Influenza test include:

    • Weakened immune system

    • Chronic illnesses

    • Pregnancy

    • Age over 65 years or under 5 years

    • Cancer history (either past or present)

    • Chronic health conditions, such as diabetes or asthma

    • Individuals who are hospitalised

    Furthermore, a flu test can be important for public health officials or doctors to identify the cause of a respiratory illness outbreak within a community, such as schools or nursing homes. Advanced flu tests can also specify which virus is responsible for the infection.
