RESPIRATORY PATHOGEN TEST

Find Out What’s Behind Your Cough

Cough, congestion, sore throat, and fever may seem routine, but they can point to a range of respiratory infections—some mild, others more serious. These symptoms may be caused by viruses, bacteria, or deeper respiratory conditions affecting the sinuses, throat, airways, or lungs. Getting the right diagnosis is key to choosing the right treatment and avoiding complications.

Many illnesses like the common cold, COVID-19, flu, RSV, or even atypical pneumonia can look alike at first. Without accurate testing, you risk being misdiagnosed, overtreated with antibiotics, or missing the care you truly need.

What the Test Does and How It Works

Our Respiratory Pathogen Panel uses advanced PCR technology to accurately detect multiple viruses and bacteria from a single nasal or throat swab. It’s faster and more reliable than traditional culture or rapid antigen tests, giving you clear answers when you need them most.

This comprehensive panel identifies over 20 common respiratory pathogens, including:

  • Viruses: Influenza A and B, RSV, Rhinovirus, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Human Metapneumovirus, and non-COVID Coronaviruses
  • Bacteria: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough)

The results reveal the exact cause of your symptoms, helping your provider make the right call on treatment and precautions—especially important during cold and flu season when fast, informed decisions matter most.
