H1N1 test is used to detect the genetic material of the H1N1 influenza (flu) virus in the respiratory samples. The test helps doctors diagnose H1N1 flu infections and guide treatment decisions. H1N1 influenza, commonly called swine flu, is a subtype of the influenza A virus. It is a zoonotic infection (transmitted from animals to humans) that causes viral flu-like symptoms in humans. It is typically transmitted through respiratory droplets via coughing or sneezing by infected individuals. The signs and symptoms of H1N1 infection vary by age, underlying health conditions, and immune function. However, your doctor may suggest H1N1 test when you have symptoms such as cough, sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, headache, and low-grade fever indicative of flu or a similar respiratory illness. The time from when a person is exposed and infected with flu to when symptoms begin is about 1-4 days but can range for up to 7 days. Therefore, get tested with H1N1 test as soon as the symptoms appear. Additionally, this test helps confirm whether the symptoms are caused by the H1N1 virus or another influenza virus.

Detects the presence of the H1N1 virus, confirming the infection. Influenza or flu is a viral infection that affects your respiratory system. The infection is usually mild and resolves on its own, but it can be life-threatening in children under 5 years, adults above 65 years of age, and those with weakened immune systems.
