Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Clinical and Interpretive info
This test is a multiplex polymerase chain reaction test capable of qualitatively detecting DNA or RNA of 22 pathogens (bacteria and viruses) in approximately 1 hour using bronchoalveolar lavage and bronchial washing specimens.
This test may diagnose infections caused by adenovirus, coronavirus (HKU1, NL63, 229E, OC43), SARS-CoV-2, human metapneumovirus, human rhinovirus/enterovirus, influenza A subtypes H1, H1-2009, and H3, influenza A undifferentiated subtypes (including subtype H5N1), influenza B, parainfluenza (1, 2, 3, 4), respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
