text: Testing respiratory specimens from several persons with suspected influenza will increase the likelihood of detecting influenza virus infection if influenza virus is the cause of the outbreak, and use of molecular assays such as RT-PCR is recommended if the cause of the outbreak is not determined and influenza is suspected.
text: To diagnose the flu, a doctor performs a physical examination and asks the patient questions about symptoms to find out if influenza is the culprit or if a cold or another kind of respiratory problem is to blame.
text: If influenza is suspected, testing of clinical specimens collected from different respiratory sites can be done (e.g., upper and lower respiratory tract) and can be collected on more than one day to increase the likelihood of influenza virus detection; intubated patients should have endotracheal aspirate specimens tested if influenza is suspected, but not yet confirmed.

text: During outbreaks of respiratory illness when influenza is suspected, some respiratory samples should be tested by molecular assays and both rapid influenza diagnostic tests and by viral culture.

text: If an important clinical decision is affected by the test result and influenza is still suspected, then the RIDT result should be confirmed by a molecular assay, such as RT-PCR.
