Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP)
Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP)
Not every respiratory disease is Covid!
Respiratory infections are very common and can be caused by either a bacterial or viral infection.
Viral culture, once the gold standard method for detection of respiratory viruses, is slow and labor-intensive, requiring specialized expertise and days to result. Bacterial pathogens on the other hand, require setting up cultures and can take up to 3 days for a result. Using the PCR technology, our lab can report results within hours of receiving the specimen in the laboratory.
Our panel consists of the 13 viruses:
– Adenovirus
– Human Metapneumovirus
– Influenza A
– Influenza A/H1
– Influenza A/H3
– Influenza B
– Parainfluenza 1-4
– Rhinovirus
– RSV A
– RSV B
– And 3 bacterial pathogens:
– Bordetella Parapertussis
– Bordetella homesii
– Bordetella pertussis
