RAPID FLU, RSV, STREP, AND COVID TESTING

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Influenza (commonly known as “the Flu”) are respiratory illnesses whose symptoms can range from mild (or none) to severe. These viruses shed proteins and other substances, also known as antigens, which can be used to identify the different/unique virus. Antigen tests can identify these substances, and pinpoint or identify which virus they came from, with results available in 15-20 minutes.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that is transmitted from person to person. Symptom can range from mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness. One can be infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Other ways that one can be infected is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.

The test is a qualitative test that detects the IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.  This test helps identify if you have been exposed to the virus. IgG antibodies usually can be detected 10 – 14 days from suspected infection or post symptom onset.

Customers that have active COVID or COVID related symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath should not visit Any Lab Test Now locations. Customers who believe that they may have COVID-19 are strongly encouraged to contact their physician or a medical professional.

The lab test is a qualitative test that detects the IgM/IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.  IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody produced by the immune system. The IgM antibody is detected if you have an active infection or have recently been exposed to the virus. IgG antibodies can usually be detected 10 days from suspected infection or post symptom onset. The IgG antibodies will remain in the blood after an infection has passed.

Customers that have active COVID-19 or COVID-19 related symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, should not visit Any Lab Test Now locations. Customers who believe that they may have COVID-19 are strongly encouraged to contact their physician or other medical professional.

This is an immune-response test that determines if your body has created antibodies from the vaccine if you have not had COVID-19.

Vaccines train our immune systems to create proteins that fight disease, known as ‘antibodies’, just as would happen when we are exposed to a disease but – crucially – vaccines work without making us sick.  Vaccines to the COVID-19 virus have focused on a crucial and specific region of the vaccine known as the Spike protein, which is what the virus uses to connect with and enter the human body.

Other ways that one can be infected is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.

The COVID-19 antigen test is designed to detect specific proteins on the virus. The test is a qualitative nasal or nasopharyngeal swab test that will show if you have the live active virus for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The current authorized devices are able to return results in approximately 15 minutes.

One can be infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Other ways that one can be infected is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.

The PCR swab test is a qualitative molecular test that uses a nasal or nasopharyngeal collection to look for the genetic material from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. This test helps identify if you have been exposed to and carry the virus.

Results from this test can be made available in 8 hours or less.  Please contact your closest Any Lab Test Now location to verify availability and turnaround time for the test, as cutoff times may apply.

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can present as anything from a mild to severe illness, and at times can even lead to death.  These types of respiratory illness tend to increase seasonally, usually in the Fall and Winter months.  With so many different causes for similar illnesses, it can be difficult to know what the cause of any particular respiratory illness symptoms might be.

The most common cause of a respiratory illness is usually a virus.  Viruses shed proteins and other substances, also known as an antigen, which can be used to identify the different/unique virus.  Antigen tests use specialized techniques to identify these substances, and pinpoint or identify if the virus is present.

Results from this type of test can be made available in 10 to 15 minutes and can help identify if symptoms are due to an infection with the influenza virus or not.  Interpretation of these tests can help your healthcare provider better identify potential causes for respiratory illnesses, and if identified in time could help lead to an appropriate treatment, if one is available.

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) affects approximately 64 million people worldwide each year. In most adults and older children, the symptoms are usually mild and “cold-like”, and can resolve on their own after a few days. In vulnerable individuals, including premature and very young infants, children with chronic lung disease or congenital heart disease, and people who are over age 65, this infection can cause much more serious illness leading to hospitalization or worse.

The Any Lab Test Now Rapid RSV test is an antigen test that can provide results in approximately 15 minutes. A positive result should be further interpreted by your healthcare provider to see if any treatment is available or appropriate.

A simple sore throat can sometimes be difficult to deal with, but knowing the potential cause can help narrow down potential treatments or cures.  While the most common cause of a sore throat is due to a virus, anywhere from 15% up to 40% of sore throat cases can be due to a bacteria called Streptococcus: commonly known as “strep”.  This type of infection is known as strep throat.

There are numerous types of the Streptococcus bacteria, and each type can cause a wide range of symptoms throughout the body; but the most common type for infections in the throat is Streptococcus Group A (Strep A).

While a throat culture is traditionally the better test to grow and identify the responsible bacteria in a sore throat, it can usually take at least 24-48 hours for results.  A rapid strep test, on the other hand, looks for antigens (surface proteins) unique to the Strep A bacteria.  This test can provide a result in approximately 10 minutes and serve as a quick and effective way to identify or rule out this type of infection.  Quicker identification can help your provider provide a more effective and targeted treatment.
