Is it COVID-19, Flu, RSV or something else?

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other respiratory infections can present with similar symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

That’s why it’s important to consider testing for each of these contagious illnesses at the same time—especially for children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with underlying conditions or compromised immune systems.

Knowing which infection—or infections—are causing these symptoms will help determine the best treatment.

One nasal swab done in the physician’s office or a Sonora Quest Laboratories Patient Service Center will test for COVID-19, RSV and influenza.

Your healthcare provider can help you determine if you should be screened for COVID-19, RSV and the influenza and perform the collection for testing or, refer you to one of Sonora Quest Laboratories Patient Service Centers (for patients with mild symptoms).

While at-home/antigen COVID-19 testing continues to have a decreasing sensitivity toward new COVID variants, leading to inaccurate test results, the PCR testing used in Sonora Quest’s respiratory combo testing and other COVID-19 tests is the gold-standard and continues to be extremely accurate.

Is it COVID-19, Flu, RSV or something else?

Ask your physician about respiratory combo testing.
