Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Jiang Weimin
Influenza A and Influenza B are highly contagious viruses that can spread through airborne transmission, contact transmission, or fecal-oral transmission. To accurately diagnose whether a patient is infected with Influenza A or B, nucleic acid testing is recommended. Nucleic acid testing is a method that "uses computer analysis of genetic material to determine the presence of pathogen genes indicating infection." This testing method offers significant advantages in virus detection, enabling timely identification of viral infection and allowing earlier treatment, thereby improving cure rates. Due to its excellent performance, nucleic acid testing is widely used in detecting Influenza A and B, offering high accuracy and reliability.
