    What is a Influenza Profile - Comprehensive ?

    An Influenza test is instrumental in determining if you are infected with the flu virus, particularly the A or B strains, which are the primary causes of seasonal flu outbreaks. This viral illness mainly occurs in winter and spreads easily via coughing, sneezing, or touching infected surfaces. While flu symptoms can resemble those of the common cold—such as a runny nose and cough—they tend to be more intense and can result in serious complications.

    If your doctor suspects you might have the flu, this test will help verify the diagnosis. Positive results may lead to the prescription of medications aimed at combating the virus and relieving your symptoms.

    Our Comprehensive Influenza Package is designed to detect infections caused by both influenza A and B, as well as specific strains like H1N1, H3N2, and COVID-19. If you’re feeling unwell with headaches, body aches, a sore throat, or fever and reside in Mumbai, this package can help identify the cause of your symptoms. Schedule an Influenza test in Mumbai today for precise diagnosis and timely assistance.

    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.

    • Prerequisites

    No need for fasting prior to the flu test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The flu test in Mumbai can be carried out at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Influenza Test?

    A Flu test is advisable for individuals experiencing flu-like symptoms—like fever, chills, headaches, sore throat, body aches, runny nose, or cough—particularly during the flu season (winter). Testing is also important for those at higher risk of complications, such as young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Influenza Test

    There are no specific preparation requirements for a flu test at home.

    Why Take the Influenza Profile - Comprehensive Checkup?

    If you are experiencing symptoms akin to the flu—such as a sudden fever, dry cough, headache, sore throat, chills, runny nose, muscle aches, fatigue, or loss of appetite—it is wise to consult your doctor regarding the need for an Influenza test. While many recover from the flu within a week or two without testing, specific factors might lead your doctor to recommend it.

    Risk factors that may necessitate an Influenza test include:

    • A compromised immune system

    • Chronic illnesses

    • Pregnancy

    • Being over 65 years of age or under 5 years

    • Cancer history (past or current)

    • Chronic health issues like diabetes or asthma

    • Those currently in hospital

    A flu test may also be vital for assisting public health officials or doctors in pinpointing the source of a respiratory illness outbreak in communities, such as schools or nursing homes. Additionally, specialised flu tests can identify the specific virus causing the infection.
