‹ All panels
Price1,599 AED

An advanced multiplex PCR molecular diagnostic panel designed to rapidly detect and differentiate 32 viral and atypical bacterial respiratory pathogens responsible for upper and lower respiratory tract infections—all performed seamlessly from the comfort of your home.

Overview Highlights

  • 32 Targeted Respiratory Pathogens Screened (Viral Subtypes & Atypical Bacteria)
  • At-Home Nasopharyngeal Swab Collection (Rapid PCR Multiplex)
  • Licensed Nurses & Accredited Lab Partners
  • No Fasting Required
  • Results Delivered Within 24 Hours

What Is Measured

Influenza & Seasonal Viruses (5 Targets)

  • Influenza A (including seasonal subtypes H1 and H3)
  • Influenza B
  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV A & B)

Parainfluenza & Respiratory Viruses (8 Targets)

  • Parainfluenza Virus (Types 1, 2, 3 & 4)
  • Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV)
  • Rhinovirus / Enterovirus
  • Adenovirus

Coronaviruses (5 Targets)

  • Endemic Human Coronaviruses (229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1)
  • SARS-CoV-2

Atypical & Targeted Bacterial Pathogens (14 Subtypes/Targets)

  • Bordetella pertussis / parapertussis
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae
  • Chlamydophila pneumoniae
  • Legionella pneumophila

Related Symptoms

  • Persistent cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, or shortness of breath
  • High fever, body aches, chills, or sudden-onset respiratory fatigue
  • Wheezing, chest tightness, or prolonged post-viral cough

Clinical Indications & Benefits

  • Utilizes high-sensitivity DNA/RNA multiplex PCR to identify overlapping respiratory pathogens in a single swab
  • Rapidly differentiates common seasonal viral infections from targeted bacterial causes (Mycoplasma, Legionella, Bordetella)
  • Guides early, appropriate clinical management while preventing unnecessary antibiotic administration for viral illnesses

Patient Preparation

  • No fasting required
  • Refrain from using nasal sprays, nasal rinses, or decongestants for 2–4 hours prior to swab collection
  • Sample collected via a comfortable at-home nasopharyngeal or combined nasal swab by a licensed nurse

Samples are collected at home by trained clinical staff and processed through an accredited laboratory, with a physician available to talk you through the results.
