Rapid antigen detection test (RADT)Diagnostic testingStrong working relationships between infectious disease (ID) physicians and public health have resulted in the early detection of emerging infectious threats. From May 6 through June 5, 2015, we surveyed ID physicians in the Infectious Diseases ...
JR: What are the main challenges faced by clinicians in diagnosing RSV in older adults? AF: PCR analysis of a nasal swab remains the standard diagnostic approach for RSV. Viral culture is not possible as RSV does not survive well during transport. Rapid antigen tests (commonly employed for SA...
There are two common tests for RSV: Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). This test can be used in infants, older children, and adults. Antigen testing. This test is best suited for children and not as sensitive to find RSV in adults. Less common RSV tests ...

When RSV has already been identified in the community, a healthcare practitioner may order a rapid RSV test to confirm the suspected diagnosis in a symptomatic person. What does the test result mean? If an RSV test is positive, then it is likely that the person has a respiratory syncytial...
Here’s what you should know about when to get tested or have your child tested for RSV. What is RSV testing? There are different types of RSV tests available that detect the RSV virus. The most commonly used test according to Medline Plus is the rapid RSV antigen test. This test ...
For older children and adults, the rapid antigen test is not as sensitive for detecting the RSV antigen. So a test called the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used. This test also involves taking a swab of nasal secretions. A benefit to the PCR test is that it looks for a spectrum ...

For older adults, an RT-PCR test (which also uses a nasal swab) can find a smaller amount, compared to an antigen test. The samples are usually sent to a lab. In certain cases, your doctor might run a respiratory panel test to look for RSV as well as other viruses and bacteria. ...
