Influenza detection swab
A flu test is a diagnostic procedure to determine whether someone has influenza.
The most common type is a rapid test using a nasal swab, producing results within minutes.
More accurate laboratory tests take longer.
The flu test came back positive, so the doctor prescribed antivirals.
