Minnesota Laboratory System (MLS)

The MLS Influenza Surveillance Program is made up of clinic- and hospital-based laboratories voluntarily submitting testing data through a weekly survey. These laboratories perform molecular testing for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and a subset of labs also perform PCR testing for other viruses. Tracking the laboratory results assists health care providers with patient diagnosis of influenza-like illness and shows the pathogens causing respiratory illness in the community.
