Rapid Molecular Tests for Detecting Respiratory Pathogens Reduced the Use of Antibiotics in Children

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) is increasingly being used to diagnose infections caused by respiratory pathogens in pediatric inpatient facilities. mPCR assays detect a broader array of viruses, with higher specificity and sensitivity and faster turnaround than previous assays. We adapte...
