H1N1 Swine Flu Tests Rapid Flu Test These tests are performed by swiping the inside of the nose or back of the throat with a simple nasal swab. There are multiple rapid flu tests available that can test for influenza subtypes A and B but they are not specific for H1N1 swine flu. They also vary widely in how accurate they are to detect the flu at all, although they seem to be slightly more accurate in children than adults. Depending on the test, they vary from 10% to 70% in their ability to detect the virus. This means that you could have a rapid flu test done which comes back negative, yet still have the flu. Specific H1N1 Swine Flu Test Two tests that can definitively diagnose the pandemic H1N1 virus include the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) and a viral culture. These tests can only be performed as certain specialized laboratories and takes several days to receive results. Is H1N1 Swine Flu Testing Really Necessary? For most people, testing is not necessary. H1N1 swine flu can be diagnosed based on symptoms instead of test results because the treatment will typically be the same regardless of the test results. This means that many people will have H1N1 swine flu without ever receiving definitive confirmation. http://coldflu.about.com/od/flu/qt/swineflutests.htm
