The Sputum COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) Test detects the presence of the SARS CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, in sputum (mucus from the lungs). This test is particularly useful for individuals showing symptoms of COVID-19, such as cough and difficulty breathing, as sputum samples are directly from the respiratory tract. This test helps confirm infection, supporting appropriate treatment and isolation measures to prevent transmission. Testing from sputum can provide a clearer indication of virus presence in cases of lower respiratory tract infection.

The Sputum COVID-19 Test is critical for identifying active SARS CoV-2 infection, especially in symptomatic individuals. COVID-19 can lead to severe respiratory complications, particularly in high-risk groups like the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. Detecting the virus early enables timely medical intervention, reducing the risk of severe symptoms and controlling the spread of infection. For those with respiratory symptoms and suspected lower respiratory infections, the sputum test provides valuable insight for targeted care and monitoring.
