The Basic Influenza Screening is a focused diagnostic test that detects the presence of Influenza A and Influenza B viruses. These are the two most common seasonal flu strains responsible for fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and respiratory symptoms. This screening helps identify whether your symptoms are flu related, enabling timely treatment decisions and preventing further spread.
A DHA-licensed nurse collects your sample at your home, office, hotel, or preferred location using sterile, single use equipment. Depending on the laboratory protocol, the test is performed using a validated molecular or antigen based method to ensure accurate detection of viral presence.
This test is ideal for individuals with flu like symptoms, recent exposure to infected individuals, chronic medical conditions, or workplaces needing quick screening. After analysis, your results are delivered within 3 days securely via email only, ensuring fast and private access.
