Extended Respiratory PCR Panel

F18-T2 · Infectious Disease

₹4,500Diagnostics only

With higher accuracy than a rapid test, which specific respiratory virus is causing my persistent or severe symptoms?

Best for

Persistent or severe respiratory symptoms, a negative rapid test with continuing suspicion, or high-risk patients (elderly, immunocompromised) needing more certainty.

Time at centre: ~15 minPreparation: None requiredReport: 24 hrsBooking: Self-bookCollection: Swab: Centre only

What's included

RT-PCR Multiplex — Influenza A/B, H1N1, H3N2, RSV — broader pathogen coverage than the rapid test
CRP — Inflammation marker — helps gauge severity

What normal doesn't rule out

the presence of every possible respiratory pathogen — this panel covers the most common ones, but atypical or rare pathogens may need separate testing if this comes back negative and symptoms persist.

Not included

COVID-19 (already covered in F18-T1, add if not previously tested)
Chest imaging (if pneumonia is suspected, discuss with your physician)

Not the right fit if

you have severe breathlessness, chest pain, or signs of pneumonia — that needs urgent clinical evaluation, not a screening test.

Preparation

Preparation: No special preparation. A nasal/throat swab is taken at the centre. || Collection & eligibility: This is acentre-only swab test— no home service applies. Self-bookable.
