About This Series
Significant advances have been made in diagnostic tests for patients with clinical signs of infectious disease. Taryn Brill hosts this series of expert perspectives by two leaders in the field of molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases. Whether it is suspicion of meningitis and encephalitis, acute gastroenteritis, a blood stream infection, or an acute respiratory infection, this series will explore the practical application of rapid molecular tests and how the results can inform clinical decision-making and support improved patient outcomes.
