Find Clarity When Flu Symptoms Create Uncertainty
When fever, cough, and body aches strike, the question “Is it COVID-19, flu, or something else?” can cause significant stress and anxiety. Our comprehensive Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) SARS-CoV-2 Panel Test provides the definitive answers you need to make informed health decisions and get the right treatment quickly.
Understanding Your Comprehensive Respiratory Test
This advanced panel test uses Real Time RT-PCR technology – the gold standard for viral detection – to simultaneously test for four major respiratory viruses that cause similar symptoms. Instead of guessing or taking multiple tests, you get comprehensive results from a single sample, saving you time, money, and unnecessary worry.

- Fever, chills, or sweating
- Persistent cough or sore throat
- Body aches, headaches, or fatigue
