Diagnosing Infections

Respiratory infections are among the most common reasons patients seek outpatient care.[1] Gastrointestinal infections are also seen in outpatient settings year-round. Joint infections may be less common, but they are challenging and complex to diagnose.

Overcome Diagnostic Challenges

Knowing the cause of an infection can help clinicans make optimal treatment decisions. But traditional testing methods can be slow and lack sensitivity. Syndromic testing detects a broad grouping of probable pathogens in one quick test, giving clinicans the answers they need to make timely, targeted treatment decisions.
