What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like unexplained fever, rash, muscle aches, or flu-like illness that your recent activities or exposures suggest could be viral. It's also useful if you've had contact with someone diagnosed with an enterovirus infection and want to know if you've been infected too. The test helps identify enterovirus as the cause of your symptoms so you can take the right next steps.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each value explained so you understand what it means. If your result is positive, simple next steps include resting, staying hydrated, and monitoring symptoms since most enterovirus infections resolve on their own, but seek immediate medical care if you develop severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, stiff neck, or confusion. A downloadable lab report is available in your account, and you can track results over time using the trends feature if retesting is needed.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs that suggest you might benefit from this test include fever, sore throat, rash, muscle aches, and general flu-like discomfort that doesn't seem to fit a typical cold. Some people also experience gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or stomach pain, or in more serious cases, symptoms affecting the nervous system such as severe headache or neck stiffness. If your symptoms have lasted several days without improvement, testing can help identify the cause.

How can I naturally support recovery from a viral infection?

Rest is one of the most important things you can do, since your body needs energy to fight off the virus. Staying well hydrated with water and electrolyte drinks helps your body function properly and can ease symptoms like fever and fatigue. Eating light, nutritious foods and avoiding strenuous activity until you feel better also supports a smoother recovery.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll receive a notification once your results are posted to your secure online account. The report will include a clear explanation of what your result means.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with symptoms that suggest a viral illness, such as fever, rash, or muscle aches, especially if common causes have been ruled out. It's also worth considering if you've been in close contact with someone who tested positive for an enterovirus, or if you work in a setting like a school or daycare where outbreaks can spread quickly. Parents of young children with unexplained fever and rash may also find this test helpful.

What is enterovirus and why does it matter?

Enterovirus is a group of common viruses that can cause a wide range of illnesses, from mild cold-like symptoms to more serious conditions affecting the skin, muscles, or nervous system. It matters because these viruses spread easily between people, especially in close-contact settings, and some strains like Enterovirus D68 have been linked to more severe respiratory or neurological illness. Knowing whether enterovirus is the cause of your symptoms can help guide how you manage your recovery and whether you need to take precautions to avoid spreading it to others.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means enterovirus RNA was detected in your sample, confirming that this type of virus is present and likely responsible for your symptoms. Most people recover with simple at-home care like rest and fluids, since there's no specific antiviral treatment for most enterovirus infections. If symptoms are severe or involve the nervous system, seek medical care right away.

What causes an enterovirus infection?

Enteroviruses spread through contact with respiratory droplets, saliva, or stool from an infected person, which makes them easy to pass around in households, schools, and daycare settings. Poor hand hygiene and touching contaminated surfaces are common ways the virus spreads. Outbreaks tend to increase in the summer and fall months.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result is positive, focus on rest, hydration, and monitoring your symptoms since most cases improve within a week or two without specific treatment. Keep an eye out for warning signs like difficulty breathing, severe headache, or stiff neck, and seek emergency care immediately if these occur. Since enterovirus spreads easily, it's a good idea to practice good hand hygiene and limit close contact with others until you're feeling better.
