Why is the Test Done?
This is a molecular test that is used to detect H1N1 (Swine flu). Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract of pigs and result in a barking cough, decreased appetite, nasal secretions, and listless behavior; the virus can be transmitted to humans. These viruses may mutate so that they are easily transmissible among humans.
