Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

Is influenza B PCR qualitative?

Influenza B PCR is usually a qualitative nucleic-acid amplification test that reports whether viral RNA is detected (positive/negative) for clinical diagnosis. Some real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays provide cycle threshold (Ct) values that correlate with viral load, so they can be used semi-quantitatively or quantitatively in research or specialized labs, but routine diagnostic reports typically remain qualitative.

What is H3N2 positive mean?

H3N2 positive means a test detected influenza A subtype H3N2, a common seasonal flu strain. It causes fever, cough, sore throat, body aches and can be more severe in infants, elderly and people with chronic conditions. Diagnosis is by rapid antigen or PCR. Management is mainly supportive; antivirals (e.g. oseltamivir) may be advised for high‑risk patients or early in illness.

What is the PCR test for influenza A and B?

The PCR test for influenza A and B is a molecular assay (RT‑PCR) that detects viral RNA from respiratory samples, usually a nasal or throat swab. It is highly sensitive and specific, can distinguish influenza A from B, and identifies infections early in illness. Results often return within hours to a day, supporting timely treatment decisions and public-health surveillance.

What is influenza type B positive?

Influenza type B positive means a laboratory test detected influenza B virus in a respiratory sample, confirming current infection. It causes seasonal flu symptoms, fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and can be serious in young children, older adults, or immunocompromised people. Treatment focuses on rest, fluids, and sometimes antivirals; isolation and medical advice are recommended for high-risk or worsening cases.

Can I take my diabetes medication before H3N2 & influenza b qualitative RT PCR?

If you take insulin or diabetes tablets and are fasting for H3N2 & influenza b qualitative RT PCR, ask your doctor whether to delay the dose until after the sample is collected, to avoid a low-sugar episode.

Can I exercise before H3N2 & influenza b qualitative RT PCR?

Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 to 24 hours before H3N2 & influenza b qualitative RT PCR, since intense activity can temporarily change several blood markers. Light everyday movement is fine.
