This diagnostic profile is essential for identifying viral pathogens responsible for respiratory infections. It includes tests for Parainfluenza types 1-4, which are known to cause croup and bronchitis, and Enterovirus RNA, associated with respiratory illnesses and hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

Other viruses tested include Adenovirus DNA, which can cause severe respiratory illness, RSV RNA (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), a leading cause of respiratory infections in children, Rhinovirus RNA, commonly linked to the common cold, and Parechovirus RNA, which can affect infants and young children. Early detection of these viruses aids in appropriate clinical management, guiding treatment options and infection control measures.
