Respiratory Pathogen Panel
At Pathgen Laboratory, we offer advanced diagnostic testing for respiratory infections using our state-of-the-art Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP). Our RPP is a multiplex PCR test that simultaneously detects and identifies multiple respiratory viruses and bacteria from a single patient sample. This comprehensive test helps healthcare providers quickly and accurately diagnose respiratory infections, leading to more targeted treatment plans and improved patient outcomes.
Why Use Our Respiratory Pathogen Panel?
- Comprehensive Coverage: Our RPP tests for a wide range of common and emerging respiratory pathogens, including influenza A and B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus, adenovirus, coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2), and bacterial pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae.
- Fast Results: Our advanced testing technology provides results within 24-48 hours, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections.
- Improved Patient Care: By accurately identifying the causative pathogen, our RPP helps healthcare providers prescribe targeted therapies, reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, and implement appropriate infection control measures.
- Cost-Effective: Testing for multiple pathogens simultaneously reduces the need for multiple individual tests, saving time and costs for both patients and healthcare providers.
- Expertise and Quality: Our laboratory is staffed by experienced professionals who follow strict quality control measures to ensure accurate and reliable results.
When to Consider Respiratory Pathogen Panel Testing:
- Patients with severe or complicated respiratory infections
- Immunocompromised patients at risk for opportunistic infections
- Outbreaks of respiratory illness in healthcare facilities or the community
- Patients with persistent or recurrent respiratory symptoms despite treatment
- Situations where rapid identification of the causative pathogen is crucial for patient management and public health
