A test that looks for specific pathogens that cause respiratory infections. When a person is feeling run down, and has symptoms that can include cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose, and body aches, it is important not to dismiss it as “under the weather”. This test looks for 22 different pathogens, a combination of viral and bacterial, and provides details on what is causing the symptoms you have. From there you can act upon this information with Healthcare professionals to get the right treatment.

Please check the email account linked to the original booking. You will receive an email providing USER name and password information. If you have forgotten your password, please select reset password on the log in page on fly.randox.com

In line with government guidance any persons with symptoms that could indicate Covid-19 must follow local regulations and be tested first. As Covid-19 is monitored within government guidelines, it must be kept separate.

Symptoms are not just an indication of Covid-19. Respiratory infections, can impact the lungs, sinuses, vocal cords, throat, and are of particular danger to children, older persons and people with immune system disorders. Also where an the infection can be contagious, means its not just a risk for you but those around. Getting a cold, cough and flu test will assist in determining the source of your symptoms. Better informed means better able. Knowing more about your symptoms and what is causing them specifically, means you can look at what can be done to improve your health.

Depending on symptoms, a health care professional may take a swab or sputum sample at the appointment. This will either be the looking at the upper respiratory tract, or the lower lung. The sample will then be tested to see whether 22 different pathogens are detected on the sample provided that day. The pathogens will either be viral or bacterial. You will receive a report that will either show positive or negative for each pathogen tested.

Simply put, infections in winter happen. They occurred before Covid-19 entered our lives and will continue. People can choose to ignore the symptoms and just try to pull through. But with this you risk symptoms getting worse, requiring hospital treatment, developing co-infections such as pneumonia, sinus infections, time off work, impacting those around you. This test is looking at a wide range of pathogens that can be the cause of common respiratory symptoms, and more importantly if there is a positive found for any (or more) of the pathogens provide clarity on why you are having the symptoms, and then opportunity to treat them?

A pathogen is a virus or bacteria or another microorganism that can cause disease.  The 22 pathogens that are selected for the Cold, Cough or Flu test,  are a wide range of viral and bacterial pathogens that can be the cause of the symptoms previously mentioned.

When it comes to respiratory infections, the main different is how to deal with the infection whether it is viral or bacterial. If you have a bacterial infection (in the Cold, Cough or Flu test) treatment may require antibiotics. If you have a viral pathogen, antibiotics may not be suitable. By targeting both bacterial and viral pathogens in the Cold, Cough or Flu test, not only is it the aim to detect the presence of any of these pathogens, but if any are positive what that means in terms of possible treatment action plans.

• There are 7 bacterial and 15 viral pathogens that are “looked for” in the sample provided. If the report states POSITIVE for a bacterial pathogen, then antibiotics may be required. If the report is positive for a viral pathogen, then antibiotics may not be suitable. If the report states negative beside a pathogen it means that it was not present in the sample provided.
