LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. & LENEXA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ViraCor-IBT Laboratories today launched a new, comprehensive influenza and respiratory virus testing service that will assist physicians in detecting a range of respiratory viruses including 2009 Influenza A H1N1, or “swine flu,” as well as other influenza subtypes and common respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV). The ViraCor-IBT testing service will assist physicians in rapidly identifying the cause of an infection. By reporting results on the same day that a sample is received, the service will improve patient care, reduce unnecessary use of antivirals, and reduce hospital costs.
