HMPV (Human Metapneumovirus) Test is important because it detects infection with HMPV, a respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe respiratory illness, especially in children, elderly, and immunocompromised patients.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
