What Is a Respiratory PCR Test?

A Respiratory PCR Test detects viral and bacterial pathogens that infect the upper and lower respiratory tract. It is commonly used when patients present with symptoms such as cough, fever, congestion, shortness of breath, or sore throat.

Why Respiratory PCR Testing Is Used

PCR testing allows healthcare providers to:

  • PCR Testing helps detect infections early

  • Identify specific pathogens using early testing methods

  • Identify viral and bacterial causes

  • Includes COVID, RSV, and Influenza (Flu A / B)

  • Support for chronic lung issues

The primary objective of a Respiratory PCR Test is to detect respiratory infections early and guide the right treatment fast. Diamed Laboratories can help you achieve your goal quickly and accurately.

Why Respiratory PCR Testing Is Important

Respiratory testing helps detect the cause of cough, congestion, or breathing issues by identifying viruses and bacteria like COVID-19, RSV, and influenza, enabling fast, targeted treatment and better outcomes.

What Conditions It Detects

  • Influenza (Flu A & B)

  • COVID-19

  • RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)

  • Adenovirus

  • Rhinovirus

  • Parainfluenza

  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae

How the Test Is Performed

A nasal or nasopharyngeal swab is collected and analyzed in a laboratory to identify genetic material from respiratory pathogens.

Why It’s Important

  • Differentiates viral vs bacterial infections

  • Enables faster and more accurate diagnosis

  • Helps prevent spread of contagious respiratory illnesses
