About this study

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the MSD® Influenza Test in detecting influenza A and influenza B in subjects presenting with influenza-like-illness (ILI).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective study to evaluate the performance of the MSD Influenza Test for the detection and differentiation of influenza A (including A/H1, A/H3, and A/H5 subtypes) and influenza B. Nasal swabs from subjects presenting at the clinical care facility with ILI will be collected and tested on the MSD Influenza Test. Results from the Test will be compared to results obtained from viral culture performed on a second nasal swab at a reference laboratory.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MSD Influenza A Test Results Against Cell Culture

    A nasal sample is tested on the MSD Influenza Test, which provides a positive or negative result. A separate nasal swab is tested by tissue cell culture, which provides a positive or negative result. These two results are then compared.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. MSD Influenza B Test Results Against Cell Culture

    A nasal sample is tested on the MSD Influenza Test, which provides a positive or negative result. A separate nasal swab is tested by tissue cell culture, which provides a positive or negative result. These two results are then compared, and PCR is performed on discrepant results and used to reconcile differences.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. MSD Influenza A Test Results Against Culture and PCR

    A nasal sample is tested on the MSD Influenza Test, which provides a positive or negative result. A separate nasal swab is tested by tissue cell culture, which provides a positive or negative result. These two results are then compared, and PCR is performed on discrepant results and used to reconcile differences.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. MSD Influenza B Test Results Against Culture and PCR

    A nasal sample is tested on the MSD Influenza Test, which provides a positive or negative result. A separate nasal swab is tested by tissue cell culture, which provides a positive or negative result. These two results are then compared, and PCR is performed on discrepant results and used to reconcile differences.

    Measured: 1 day
