Influenza, commonly known as ‘the flu’, is a highly contagious acute respiratory viral infection that is easily spread by aerosolised droplets containing live viruses produced by coughing and sneezing. Influenza outbreaks occur every year during the autumn and winter seasons. According to the latest World Health Organisation (WHO) podcast ‘Flu season is here. Are you ready?’, influenza viruses are complex and ever-changing, with hundreds of thousands of deaths due to seasonal influenza worldwide each year. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is therefore essential for influenza prevention and control.

The gold standard of laboratory diagnosis is 14-day cell culture with one of a variety of cell lines that can support the growth of influenza virus.2 Cell culture has limited clinical utility, as results are obtained too late in the clinical course for effective patient intervention. Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a newer method that is generally more sensitive than culture with improved detection rates over culture of 2-23%.3 However RT-PCR is expensive, complex and must be performed in specialized laboratories.
