Respiratory Viral Panel by PCR
Ordering Recommendation
Preferred test for evaluating severely immunocompromised (eg, BMT) or critically ill (ICU) patients with respiratory symptoms. Test detects influenza (A and B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza (1, 2, 3, 4), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), human rhinovirus, and adenovirus.
