Influenza A, B & RSV PCR Panel

General Information

Lab Name

Influenza A/B & RSV by PCR

Lab Code

FLURSV

Epic Name

Influenza A/B and RSV by PCR

Description

The UW Clinical Virology Laboratory in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology incorporates the modified FDA approved Panther Fusion® Flu A/B/RSV assay for the rapid detection and differentiation of human influenza A/B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) using real-time PCR.

The assay targets the influenza A viruses (matrix gene), the influenza B viruses (matrix gene) and RSV (matrix gene). Results are reported as Detected or NOT detected and a semi-qualitative result is provided by reporting the PCR Cycle threshold (Ct) value for positive specimens.

Synonyms

Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
