Find Clarity in Your Flu Diagnosis with Precision Viral Load Testing
When that persistent cough, fever, and body aches won’t go away, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve to know exactly what you’re dealing with – not just whether you have Influenza A, but how much virus your body is fighting. Our quantitative viral load testing provides the detailed information your doctor needs to guide your treatment effectively.
Understanding Your Influenza A Viral Load Test
Unlike standard flu tests that simply say “yes” or “no,” our quantitative test measures the exact amount of Influenza A virus in your system using advanced Real-Time PCR technology. Think of it as getting a precise measurement rather than just a detection – this gives your healthcare provider crucial information about the severity of your infection and helps track your recovery progress.
The test is completely safe and involves a simple swab from your nose or throat. Our trained professionals ensure the process is comfortable and dignified, because we believe medical testing should never add to your stress.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Persistent fever above 38°C that won’t break
- Severe cough that’s lasted more than 3 days
- Body aches and fatigue that disrupt your daily life

- Worsening symptoms despite home care
This test is particularly important for:
