Highlights for ECCMID 2024

Diagnosing upper respiratory infections can be challenging, especially when it comes to choosing the most appropriate method. Advances in molecular diagnostics now offer diverse tools to identify causative agents of infection. However, the question remains: how do we choose the right approach for each patient?

In this session, experts will discuss various diagnostic solutions, focusing on the benefits of multiplex testing to meet patients' diverse needs. Attendees will explore the strengths of point-of-care, near-patient, and centralized testing while learning how multiplex strategies improve accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and resource use. Participants will gain insights into optimizing diagnostic choices to enhance patient outcomes in managing upper respiratory infections.
