Optimization of Syndromic Respiratory Panel Testing During a ‘Twin-Demic’ Respiratory Season: Inclusion of SARS-CoV-2
Presented by: Jose Alexander, MD., D(ABMM) FCCM, BCMAS SM, MB(ASCP)
Molecular diagnostics for respiratory infections play a key role in global health, testing for influenza during the winter, and multiple viruses and bacteria that cause influenza-like-illness year-round.
Sample-to-answer respiratory panels aid laboratories and clinicians in delivering rapid, clinically actionable results for patient management, therapeutic prescribing, cohorting and/or hospital admission decision-making.
Though many SARS-CoV-2 tests are available, the need to detect other viruses and bacteria is more important than ever. The ePlex® Respiratory Pathogen Panel 2 detects more than 20 respiratory pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, to optimize efficiency during the 2020/2021 respiratory season while delivering rapid, quality results for critical patient care.
