What is RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS (RSV)?

The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) test detects the presence of RSV, a common virus that causes respiratory tract infections. It's particularly important for infants, young children, and older adults who are at higher risk for severe illness.

Why is this test important?

Identifying RSV helps clinicians manage respiratory symptoms, especially in vulnerable populations. Early diagnosis can guide treatment decisions, prevent complications like bronchiolitis or pneumonia, and inform infection control measures.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
