What is Influenza A and why is testing important?

Testing for Influenza A is important because it confirms the presence of the virus, enabling timely and effective treatment, and helps in monitoring and managing public health responses during flu seasons.

Testing for Influenza A is recommended for individuals showing symptoms of the flu, particularly those who are at high risk of severe illness, such as the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and people with chronic health conditions. It’s also advised for anyone experiencing severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.

The accuracy of Influenza A tests can be influenced by the time since onset of symptoms, as the viral load can decrease over time.

Negative results might prompt further testing for other respiratory pathogens if symptoms persist. Test results also guide public health measures to prevent the spread of the flu.
