Respiratory Panel Price in Bangladesh

What is Respiratory Panel?

A Respiratory Panel is a diagnostic test that simultaneously detects a wide range of pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. This panel typically includes tests for common viruses like influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), coronaviruses, and adenoviruses, as well as bacteria like *Streptococcus pneumoniae* and *Haemophilus influenzae*.

It can be performed using methods like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) or multiplex testing, which allow for rapid and accurate identification of multiple pathogens from a single sample (usually collected from a nasal swab or sputum). This test helps healthcare providers diagnose the cause of respiratory symptoms, like cough, fever, or shortness of breath, and guide appropriate treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

Respiratory Panel is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Respiratory Panel result rather than self-diagnosing.
