SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and Related Tests
GenePath Diagnostics is pleased to announce the availability of several commonly requested tests / new panels from our drive through testing facility at Safire Park Galleria in Wakdewadi, Shivaji Nagar.
With the continued high prevalence of Covid-19, which presents with widely varying degrees of severity, there is a need for ancillary tests to guide patient management. Furthermore, the advent of the seasonal Flu and the monsoon, has resulted in an increasing number of diseases which have overlapping clinical presentations with Covid-19. We offer a series of tests / panels that can help with Covid-19 patient management and help with rapidly determining the true cause of the illness.
The tests / panels are listed below. We call your attention to three specific Covid-19 + Panels (numbers 4, 5 and 7 in the table below) to assist with treating your Covid-19 symptomatic patients. These include testing for:
• Covid-19
• Relevant blood tests to help you assess the severity of Covid-19
• Confirm clinical conditions with overlapping clinical presentations (Flu)
