A <strong>Canine</strong> Respiratory Disease (CRD) RealPCR Panel isrecommended in the majority of dogs to look for otherinfectious causes of clinical signs as well as to identifycoinfections that might alter management. The <strong>CDV</strong> <strong>Quant</strong>RealPCR <strong>Test</strong> has replaced the qualitative <strong>CDV</strong> RealPCR<strong>Test</strong> in these panels at no additional cost.Note: <strong>Quant</strong>ification is only available for respiratorysamples. When other clinical manifestations of disease arepresent and other sample types are submitted (e.g., CSFfor neurologic disease), the existing stand-alone <strong>Canine</strong><strong>Distemper</strong> <strong>Virus</strong> (<strong>CDV</strong>) RealPCR <strong>Test</strong> (test code 2265) oran appropriate panel (<strong>Canine</strong> Diarrhea RealPCR Panel[test code 2625] or <strong>Canine</strong> Neurologic RealPCR Panelwith Lyme <strong>Quant</strong> C 6®[test code 3031]) should be ordered.<strong>Canine</strong> <strong>Distemper</strong> <strong>Virus</strong> (<strong>CDV</strong>) RealPCR <strong>Test</strong> (test code2265) is a qualitative test (positive or negative) that shouldonly be ordered for clinical manifestations requiring sampletypes other than respiratory swabs or if it is certain that thedog with respiratory signs has not been recently vaccinated.Ordering Informationtest codetest name and contents3265 <strong>Distemper</strong> <strong>Virus</strong> (<strong>CDV</strong>) <strong>Quant</strong> RealPCR <strong>Test</strong>—<strong>Canine</strong>2524 Respiratory Disease (CRD) RealPCR Panel —<strong>Canine</strong>Bordetella bronchiseptica, canine adenovirus type 2,canine distemper virus (<strong>CDV</strong>) <strong>Quant</strong>, canine herpesvirustype 1 (CHV-1), canine influenza virus (H3N8), canineparainfluenza virus, canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV),H1N1 influenza virus, Mycoplasma cynos and Streptococcusequi subsp. zooepidemicus RealPCR tests3036 Respiratory Disease (CRD) RealPCR Panel withCulture if Indicated—<strong>Canine</strong>Bordetella bronchiseptica, canine adenovirus type 2,canine distemper virus (<strong>CDV</strong>) <strong>Quant</strong>, canine herpesvirustype 1 (CHV-1), canine influenza virus (H3N8), canineparainfluenza virus, canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV),H1N1 influenza virus, Mycoplasma cynos and Streptococcusequi subsp. zooepidemicus RealPCR tests.If the RealPCR test is positive for Bordetella bronchisepticaor Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus, a cultureand susceptibilities will be automatically performed at noadditional charge.Note: Culture will only be performed if a culture swab issubmitted.Turnaround timeThe <strong>IDEXX</strong> nationwide network of reference laboratoriesprovides daily courier service or <strong>IDEXX</strong>-Direct ® serviceto pick up your samples and forward them to our <strong>IDEXX</strong>Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory in California. <strong>IDEXX</strong>RealPCR tests are run daily, Monday–Friday.

In: Proceedings from the2011 ACVIM Forum; June 15–18, 2011; Denver, CO.The information contained herein is intended to provide general guidanceonly. As with any diagnosis or treatment, you should use clinical discretionwith each patient based on a complete evaluation of the patient, includinghistory, physical presentation and complete laboratory data. With respectto any drug therapy or monitoring program, you should refer to productinserts for a complete description of dosages, indications, interactionsand cautions.Specimen requirements: Deep pharyngeal swab (with visibleorganic material on swab; please rub firmly) and a conjunctivalswab (wipe eye clean; swab inside of eyelid) in the same tube.Please submit dry, plastic-stemmed swabs, without transportmedia, in a plain serum tube or an empty, sterile tube; keeprefrigerated. For respiratory panel with culture if indicated, alsosubmit one culture swab for aerobic culture.
