For Clinicians and Public Health Professionals

As of August 1, 2009, ACDC approval is needed for specimens submitted for H1N1 testing or viral culture. Clinicians must call 213-240-7941 to receive approval. We will routinely approve testing of specimens from cases admitted to intensive care units or deaths. Other specimens will be decided on a case by case basis. For all cases, clinicians should call ACDC and be prepared to fax in the "Screening Form for Respiratory Viral Testing.
