The adenovirus can cause some very serious illnesses in many people. This includes flulike illnesses, respiratory infections and much more. In many people, these types of illnesses can be very serious and even life threatening, which is why an accurate diagnosis is so important. Even if you are an otherwise healthy individual, knowing whether or not the adenovirus is the cause of your sickness can be very helpful in coming up with an effective treatment plan. Our Linden, NJ laboratory can perform an adenovirus virus test that will confirm or rule out this specific cause for you. The adenovirus can be looked for as part of our viral panel so that even if you don't actually have this specific virus, we will be able to figure out what you do have. The test itself can be completed in just a few minutes, and then we will analyze the results right here at our Linden, NJ laboratory. This allows us to get you the results far faster than most other medical facilities could provide. Once we have the data we can send it to you or your doctor right away.
Once you have completed the adenovirus virus test and your doctor has the results they can provide you with an effective treatment plan. If you do indeed have the adenovirus they can consider prescribing you with an antiviral medication or any number of other virus-specific treatment options they have at their disposal. Not only will having a targeted treatment plan help to get better results, but it will also help you to avoid ineffective treatments. For example, many doctors prescribe antibiotics to patients because they suspect the illness may be bacterial in nature. When the issue is actually viral, however, the antibiotic won't do anything to help you with your recovery. There are many other examples of this type of thing happening, and the only way to avoid it is to get an accurate test done to identify the actual cause of your illness. When you get an adenovirus virus test completed you can be very confident in the results. In fact, our medical lab offers the most sensitive respiratory viral panel test available. This is based on an independent study that looked at 300 specimens comparing molecular respiratory virus panels (Popowitch, JClinMicroBiol 2013). This study confirmed that our Linden, NJ laboratory offers extremely accurate results and that we can identify a wide range of viruses that can cause your illnesses.
