Influenza A and B cartridge kits serve a relevant purpose by providing a rapid answer regarding the presence or absence of the specific virus in a respiratory specimen. However, due to concerns regarding the kits sensitivity, prominent health organizations such as WHO and FDA strongly recommend that negative results generated by these kits be tested with a more sensitive method.
Positive results may also benefit from culture confirmation, particularly when more than one virus may be present in the sample. Cell Culture is one of the accepted confirmation methods.
