Respiratory Comprehensive Panel

A pathogen is an infection-causing virus, bacterium, or another organism.  The body organs such as the throat, nose, and lungs are involved in breathing and make up your respiratory tract. The respiratory tract can become infected by a wide variety of viruses and bacteria. Although the symptoms are frequently identical, the treatments can vary greatly. Therefore, choosing the appropriate diagnosis is crucial.

Pathogens in the respiratory tract are examined by a respiratory pathogens (RP) panel.

Other bacterial and viral tests for respiratory infections frequently only look for a single pathogen. Perhaps several samples are required. The procedure could be challenging and time-consuming. But in Respiratory Comprehensive Panel a single sample is all that is required to conduct testing for several viruses and bacteria.
