Respiratory infections can involve multiple viral and bacterial pathogens with overlapping clinical presentations. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) technology enables laboratories to detect selected nucleic acid targets through amplification and fluorescence-based detection. Multiplex respiratory RT-PCR panels combine multiple predefined targets into a single testing workflow, helping research laboratories evaluate respiratory pathogen targets while reducing the need for […]

Respiratory viruses COVID-19, Influenza, and RSV share similar symptoms, making accurate testing essential. With current positivity rates for Influenza (31.6%), COVID-19 (4.8%), and RSV (6.8%) (CDC), broad testing helps distinguish between these infections and guide appropriate treatment. Symptoms and Risk Factors While these viruses share overlapping symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath, […]
