Study Population

Nasal swab samples will be collected from subjects suspected of having influenza infections and onset has occurred within 3 days of examination. Across the sites these samples will be drawn from an approximately 60% pediatric patients (<21 years), and 40% adult patients (>21 years) and it is expected that the population will be divided approximately equally between males and females.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and Female of all age groups
  • Patients exhibiting influenza symptoms (i.e., fever, body aches, headaches, cough, sore throat, and other respiratory symptoms) at the time of examination
  • Patients must either present with a fever (>100ºF; >37.8ºC) at time of examination or have had a fever (>100ºF; >37.8ºC) or declare at time of the examination that they had a fever within the previous 3 days prior to the examination
  • Must be able to collect sample using the nasal swab sample type

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with no fever at time of examination or within the 3 days prior to examination and/or are currently undergoing treatment (including anti-virals) will be excluded from the study.
