Swine Flu H1N1 | ACCU Reference Medical Lab

Just a few years ago the swine flu (H1N1) has getting national attention because of the serious threat of a widespread outbreak that it posed. While the pandemic that many people predicted did not come to pass, it is still a serious strain of the flu that infects thousands of people each year. Even though it is not getting the major press coverage it once did, those who come down with the swine flu are still at significant risk, especially if they are very young, elderly or otherwise have immune system issues. One of the best things you can do if you suspect you might have the swine flu (or any other strain of the flu for that matter) is to have a virus panel run to learn what the root cause of the issue is. While most people, and even many doctors, are willing to just say they have the flu and hope for the best, knowing the actual cause can be very helpful. Once you know which virus (or if there are multiple viruses) then your doctors can begin a targeted treatment program to help you recover more quickly and reduce the risk of the illness becoming life threatening.

Targeted Virus Panel

If you come into our clinic we can run a targeted virus panel that will help us to identify exactly which viruses are causing your illness. This is a simple and quick test that can be completed right in our offices. Once the test is done, we’ll have the results analyzed and give you what we find right away. We can even send the results directly to your doctor so they can work with you to come up with the right treatment plan. Our targeted virus panel looks for all of the most common causes of the flu and related illnesses including the following:

  • Adenovirus B/E
  • Adenovirus C
  • Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV)
  • Human Rhinovirus (HRV)
  • Influenza A
  • Influenza A 2009 H1N1 *AKA Swine Flu
  • Influenza A H1
  • Influenza A H3
  • Influenza B
  • Parainfluenza Virus (PIV) 1
  • Parainfluenza Virus (PIV) 2
  • Parainfluenza Virus (PIV) 3
  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) A
  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) B

Whether it turns out that you have the swine flu or it is something else entirely, you will be armed with the accurate information you need to decide on the right course of action. By taking this test your doctors can determine whether you just need to get plenty of rest or if they should be prescribing anti-viral medications or something else entirely. In addition, you can rest more comfortably knowing the actual cause of your illness rather than having to worry about it while trying to get better.
