Help Your Wounds Heal Faster
If you or a loved one have a chronic or acute wound, an infection can bring the healing process to a halt. Those infections can be bacterial, viral, fungal, or in rare cases – a mix of the three. Most tests only detect bacterial infections – but not RT-PCR testing.
RT-PCR testing through Total Lab Solutions not only detects a wide range of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections – it also tests for antibiotic resistance to help your doctor know what the best antibiotics are for you, if they’re needed.
Questions About Your RT-PCR test?
An RT-PCR test is a sensitive test that swiftly reveals the presence of certain pathogens, like bacteria, viruses, and fungi – only needing a swab or small tissue sample to make it possible.
Wounds, both acute and chronic, are susceptible to infections. If you have a wound, your doctor will want to make sure it’s not infected. And if it is infected, they’ll want to know what’s causing it. An RT-PCR test will help give them a clear picture of what’s going on with your wound.
The collection method is non-invasive – in most cases, a swab from your wound sample is sufficient.
Because the RT-PCR test is fast, results will be uploaded and available for your review on our convenient online portal within 48 hours of our lab receiving the sample.
In most cases, RT-PCR testing is covered. However it is always best to double check with your insurance carrier.
