DIFFERENTIATING VIRAL FROM BACTERIAL INFECTION
Viral or Bacterial Infection? Clinical diagnosis of an acute respiratory infection (ARI), typically presenting as cough, cold, sore throat, and runny nose, can be challenging due to similar signs and symptoms of bacterial and viral infections.
FebriDx® is a rapid, all-in-one point-of-care (POC) test device that can differentiate a viral from bacterial acute respiratory infection. FebriDx® can be used to help in decision making at the point of care to reduce uncertainty, avoid unnecessary antibiotics, and enable appropriate patient management.
The Science Behind the Accuracy
FebriDx® incorporates two biomarkers, CRP (C-reactive protein) and MxA (Myxovirus resistance protein A), working in conjunction with each other to reliably and accurately differentiate viral from bacterial acute respiratory infection.
