DOI: 10.1080/23744235.2020.1755053
Abstract: Abstract Background: Standard diagnostic methods for lower respiratory tract infections are currently too slow and insensitive to guide early clinical decisions concerning treatment and isolation. Syndrome-specific, diagnostic panels have potential to provide information about aetiology… read more here.
