Detections from samples from Laboratory Berlin

 

Detection of infectious agents in the respiratory tract

Here we present the respiratory pathogens detected by Labor Berlin in weekly updates. The upper part of the graph shows the positive detections for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A/B and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The lower part of the graph shows the results of two multiplex tests. Here you can see how often individual pathogens were found in comparison to the others. The x-axes show the calendar week of the 2025/26 season and the total number of samples sent in.
