In the clinical lab, acute conditions like respiratory disease require immediate intervention. Minutes count. Correct identification of the causative pathogen is key to selecting the right treatment, but many pathogens cause similar symptoms. Multiplex syndromic testing with the QIAstat-Dx, rapidly and simultaneously surveys a large number of pathogens, helping to eliminate the guesswork. These more accurate, comprehensive and actionable results allow your lab to provide clinicians with the information they need to confidently diagnose and guide therapy selection, improving patient care.
Treating respiratory disease without a proper diagnosis can result in unnecessary prescribing of antibiotics, one of the driving forces for multidrug resistance in bacteria. Dr. Utsav Pandey from Children’s Hospital LA discusses the importance of syndromic testing to obtain an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
