Find Clarity in Respiratory Health: Advanced RSV & Metapneumonia Detection
When coughs persist, breathing becomes difficult, or respiratory symptoms linger, it’s natural to feel concerned. Our comprehensive RSV A, RSV B & Metapneumonia A/B Multiplex Detection Test provides the answers you need with medical precision and compassionate care. Serving patients across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, we bring advanced respiratory testing directly to South African families.
Understanding Your Respiratory Health Test
This advanced multiplex test simultaneously detects and differentiates between four major respiratory viruses using Real-Time PCR technology – the gold standard in molecular diagnostics. Unlike basic tests that might miss specific virus types, our comprehensive approach identifies:
- RSV A & RSV B – Two common strains of Respiratory Syncytial Virus
- Metapneumonia A & B – Human metapneumovirus variants
The test analyzes samples from bronchial swabs, sputum, or nasopharyngeal specimens to provide definitive results about which specific virus is causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Respiratory Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide crucial answers:
- Persistent cough lasting more than a week
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Wheezing or chest congestion
- Fever with respiratory symptoms
- Fatigue combined with breathing difficulties
- Worsening respiratory symptoms despite treatment
Special consideration for: Young children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems who are more vulnerable to severe respiratory infections.
