Molecular tests can detect influenza viral RNA (positive results) for a longer duration than other influenza testing (e.g., antigen testing-immunofluorescence or rapid influenza diagnostic tests).his guidance focuses upon molecular assays for influenza as they are increasingly being used in clinical settings (1). Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and other molecular assays can identify the presence of influenza viral RNA in respiratory specimens.
Rapid Flu Tests Not Always Accurate. MedpageToday. Most rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RITDs) perform well when viral concentrations in a sample are high, but accuracy declines at lower concentrations, researchers found.
