More than an H1N1 test
A broader, clinically useful answer.
Our Swine Flu Panel covers Influenza A, Influenza B, H1N1, H3N2 and RSV.
These infections can look very similar, yet each may require different treatment, monitoring or supportive care. As a medically led laboratory, we believe testing should provide the most clinically useful answer—not simply the narrowest test.
UNDERSTANDING INFLUENZA
When it looks like a cold, it may still be influenza.
H1N1, H3N2, Influenza B, RSV and other respiratory viruses often present with overlapping symptoms. While many infections remain mild, some can progress to pneumonia, respiratory distress or complications in high-risk patients.
The clinical value of testing is not simply confirming “flu”—it is identifying which respiratory virus is causing the illness, early enough to guide the next clinical decision.
Typical symptoms
Sudden fever or feeling feverish
Chills
Cough
Sore throat
Runny or blocked nose
Headache
Muscle and body aches
Marked fatigue or weakness
Reduced appetite
Vomiting or diarrhoea, especially in children
Important: Influenza can occur without fever. Symptoms alone cannot confirm the virus or reliably distinguish H1N1, H3N2 and Influenza B.
PATTERN, NOT DIAGNOSIS
Flu or a common cold?
- Onset
- Flu: often sudden
Cold: usually gradual - Body aches
- Flu: often prominent
Cold: usually mild - Fatigue
- Flu: can be marked
Cold: usually mild
48hours
WHY TIMING MATTERS
Early answers. Timely treatment. Better outcomes.
Influenza antivirals work best when started as early as possible, ideally within about 48 hours of symptom onset. But 48 hours is not an absolute cutoff: people with severe or progressive illness, hospitalisation or high-risk conditions may still benefit when treatment starts later.
WHEN TO CONSIDER RT-PCR
Testing may be useful when…
Symptoms are moderate, severe or worsening
The patient is pregnant, very young, older or immunocompromised
There is asthma, diabetes, heart, lung, kidney or liver disease
Pneumonia or lower-respiratory disease is suspected
Identifying the virus may change clinical management
A doctor recommends RT-PCR or an outbreak needs confirmation
DO NOT SIMPLY BOOK A TEST
Seek urgent medical care
If any warning signs are present, urgent assessment matters more than arranging an outpatient test.
Breathlessness or difficulty breathing
Chest pain
Bluish lips, face or nails
Confusion, fainting or altered consciousness
Severe lethargy, dehydration or marked weakness
Coughing blood
Poor feeding in a young child
Symptoms that improve and then become significantly worse
Worsening of an important underlying condition
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PANEL
Swine flu answer or comprehensive respiratory evaluation?
Panel selection should follow the clinical question—not a sales pitch.

MEET THE VIRUSES
Similar symptoms. Different clinical context.
Respiratory syndromes overlap too much for reliable symptom-only identification.
01Influenza A+
A major cause of seasonal flu. H1N1 and H3N2 are Influenza A subtypes.
02H1N1 (Swine flu)+
Symptoms alone cannot reliably separate it from H3N2; subtype identification adds precision.
03H3N2+
Another seasonal Influenza A subtype that can cause substantial illness.
04Influenza B+
Clinically indistinguishable from Influenza A and should not be assumed mild.
05Influenza C+
Usually milder, but can cause lower-respiratory illness.
06RSV A/B+
Important in infants, older adults and vulnerable people.
07Human metapneumovirus A/B+
Can resemble RSV, with cough, wheeze or pneumonia.
08Rhinovirus+
A frequent cause of colds and an important asthma trigger.
09Adenovirus+
May cause respiratory, eye or gastrointestinal symptoms.
10Enterovirus+
EV-D68 can cause severe wheeze; new weakness needs urgent assessment.
11Human bocavirus+
Mostly associated with respiratory illness in young children.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Clear answers, before you call.
Which flu and respiratory virus panels does Dr Bhasin's Lab offer?+
Dr Bhasin's Lab offers two flu and respiratory virus panels. The Swine Flu Panel tests for Influenza A, Influenza B, H1N1 influenza (commonly called swine flu), H3N2 and RSV. The Comprehensive Flu Panel tests for H1N1, H3N2, hMPV A & B, Bocavirus, Enterovirus, Rhinovirus, Adenovirus and Influenza A, B & C. Both panels use RT-PCR on a combined nose and throat swab. Walk-in sample collection is available 24×7×365 at our Greater Kailash-I laboratory. Home collection is available across Delhi NCR up to 11 PM, subject to location and slot availability. Reports are typically available within 8–10 hours from sample collection.
Can symptoms tell H1N1 from H3N2 or Influenza B?+
No. Symptom overlap is too great for reliable bedside identification.
When is the best time to test?+
Respiratory viral load is generally highest early in illness, so early collection can improve yield.
Should I wait for the PCR report before treatment?+
Not if you are very unwell. Clinically indicated treatment should not be delayed solely for a result.
What sample is collected?+
A trained collector takes a combined nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab. No fasting is required.
Does a negative panel rule out infection?+
No. It does not exclude every virus, bacterial infection or non-infectious illness.
Do I need an appointment or prescription?+
No. Walk in 24×7 at GK-I or request home collection, subject to availability.
Is swine flu testing at Dr Bhasin's Lab NABL accredited?+
Yes. Swine flu testing at Dr Bhasin's Lab is NABL accredited under ISO 15189:2022 (certificate NABLM0626DL08110, valid until 16 May 2030). Details are on our accreditation and quality page.
Is home collection extra?+
No extra home-collection charge is added to these test prices.
