RSV Testing In Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a common respiratory virus that affects people of all ages. It is highly contagious and spreads through droplets from coughing and sneezing or by touching contaminated surfaces. In healthy people, RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. In infants, young children, and adults over 60, it can lead to serious infections such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia.

Testing helps your provider confirm whether RSV is causing your symptoms, guide the right care, and take steps to keep it from spreading to others at home. At CityDoc, we offer rapid in-clinic RSV testing for the patients most at risk, with results before you leave.

RSV – Rapid Test for Young Children & Adults 60+ (Ages 6 Months–6 Years and 60+)

Our rapid RSV test is designed for the two groups most likely to become seriously ill from RSV: young children ages 6 months to 6 years and adults 60 and older. A quick nasal swab is taken during your visit, and results are typically ready in about 15 minutes, so you’ll have answers before you leave the clinic.

RSV – Rapid Test for Children & Teens (Age 18 & Under), While Supplies Last

We also currently offer a rapid RSV test for patients 18 and under. Availability may vary by clinic while current supplies last. Results are ready before you leave.

Who Should Get Tested for RSV?

Consider coming in for an RSV test if you or your child is in one of the age groups above and has symptoms such as:

• Runny or stuffy nose
• Cough
• Fever
• Wheezing
• Decreased appetite or fewer wet diapers in infants
• Unusual fussiness or low energy in young children

If you’re outside these age ranges, our providers can still evaluate your symptoms and recommend next steps for your care.

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if anyone has trouble breathing, rapid or labored breathing, bluish lips or skin, pauses in breathing, or signs of dehydration.

Please note…

A provider will evaluate you and order RSV testing if it’s indicated. Rapid RSV testing is available for patients ages 6 months–6 years and 60+, and for patients 18 and under while supplies last. RSV testing may not be covered by some health insurance benefit plans. Benefits depend on your specific plan, and payment may be required at the time of service.
