PCR Testing

What Is PCR Testing?

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing is a highly sensitive molecular diagnostic method used to detect genetic material (DNA or RNA) from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. PCR tests are considered the gold standard for diagnosing many infectious diseases due to their precision, speed, and reliability.

Why 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 flu

  • Support for chronic lung issues

Detect respiratory infections early and guide the right treatment fast

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

What We Test For

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.
