Comparison of a Rapid Multiplex Gastrointestinal Panel with Standard Laboratory Testing in the Management of Children with Hematochezia in a Pediatric Emergency Department: Randomized Controlled Trial

Comparison of a Rapid Multiplex Gastrointestinal Panel with Standard Laboratory Testing in the Management of Children with Hematochezia in a Pediatric Emergency Department: Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT Advances in diagnostic microbiology allow for the rapid identification of a broad range of enteropathogens; such knowledge can inform care and reduce testing. We conducted a randomized, unblinded trial in a tertiary-care pediatric emergency department. Participants had stool (and rectal swa...
