A lingering cough, stuffy nose, sore throat, or fever can signal anything from a routine cold to influenza, RSV, or an atypical bacterial pneumonia. Because many respiratory illnesses produce nearly identical symptoms, guessing at the cause can delay proper care and sometimes lead to needless antibiotics. Accurate, laboratory-confirmed testing is the most reliable way to choose the right treatment, avoid complications, and protect people around you.
Our Respiratory Pathogen Panel relies on high-sensitivity PCR technology to look for dozens of viruses and bacteria in a single nasal or throat swab. Results are typically ready within 24 hours—much faster and more precise than older culture or rapid-antigen methods. The panel screens for more than 20 common culprits, including:
By identifying the exact pathogen, the test helps clinicians tailor therapy, advise on isolation, and guide next steps—especially valuable during peak cold-and-flu season.
