RPP

Sample Source: Nasopharyngeal, Oropharyngeal, or Sputum
Collection Media: VTM Kit with Transport Media & Swab

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are infectious diseases that affect the respiratory tract. These infections are generally classified into two main categories:

1. Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URI or URTI): These involve the nose, sinuses, pharynx, or larynx.
2. Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRI or LRTI): These involve the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs.

Testing for RTIs involves collecting samples from the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, or sputum regions using a VTM kit with transport media and a swab. This helps identify the presence of pathogens responsible for the infection.
