Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP)

If you have signs of a respiratory infection and are at risk of consequences, you may require this test. The majority of respiratory infections generate only mild to moderate symptoms. However, infections in small children, the elderly, and persons with low immune systems can be serious, if not fatal.

The test results should only be viewed through the lens of certain other factors as perceived by the presiding physician, including the client’s clinical history, epidemiological data, and additional information presented through pre and post-screening. Nucleic acids from viruses and bacteria can remain in vivo regardless of the vitality of the organism. Detection does not suggest an infectious organism or a clinical symptomatic causal agent. The detection of viral and bacterial nucleic acid depends on the proper collection, handling, transport, storage, and processing of specimens in controlled settings. Incorrect findings can come from failure to follow appropriate protocols through any of these steps. There is a possibility that the gathered, transported, or handled specimens will cause fake positive or false negative values. This is why clients must speak with their physicians to discuss the next appropriate steps before coming to any conclusions independently.
