Interpretive Data

Interpretation:
Not detected = Negative, the virus or bacteria indicated was not detected.
Detected = Positive, the virus or bacteria indicated was detected.

Methodology:
This test employs multiplex PCR amplification of viral and bacterial-specific conserved genetic targets. A positive result for this assay should be coupled with clinical indicators for diagnosis.  A "Not detected" result for this assay does not exclude involvement of the tested viruses or bacteria in a disease process. This test has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for nasopharyngeal swab testing.  This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 ("CLIA") as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing.
