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.
Even if a rapid test can distinguish between influenza A and influenza B viruses, however, it canât identify a particular strain, such as the H1N1 strain of influenza A responsible for the 2009 flu epidemic. Accuracy. Rapid flu tests can miss up to 30 percent of influenza infections, yet can give a false positive in people who really donât have the flu, according to Lab Tests Online.
