Flu And Viral Infection Screening

Infection, flu and allergy

Flu and Viral Infection Screening is an advanced respiratory pathogen panel designed to detect 19 common viral infections responsible for fever, cough, sore throat, congestion, fatigue, breathing difficulty and seasonal illness. This comprehensive panel identifies multiple high-risk viruses in a single test, giving clinicians a clearer understanding of the cause of symptoms and guiding early treatment decisions.

A DHA-licensed nurse collects a nasal or throat swab at your home, office, hotel, or any preferred location, following strict sterile protocols. The sample is processed using high sensitivity molecular testing.

This test is ideal for individuals with acute respiratory symptoms, workplace outbreaks, repeated infections, children, elderly individuals, travelers and anyone needing precise viral identification. Once processed, results are delivered within 3 days securely via email only.
