Respiratory Virus Panel by PCR (24)

The Respiratory Virus Panel by PCR (24) is a comprehensive multiplex PCR test designed to detect a broad range of common respiratory viruses, helping to identify viral causes of respiratory illness quickly and accurately. This package is intended to assess respiratory and infectious health by screening pathogens that affect the upper and lower airways, such as influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and seasonal coronaviruses that circulate in the UAE. Results from the panel support clinicians and public-health teams in making timely, informed decisions about patient care and infection control. By offering broad coverage in a single test, the panel helps give patients and providers greater clarity and peace of mind when respiratory symptoms arise in Dubai and across the UAE.
