Multiplex PCR theranostics of severe respiratory infections.
Scope of the problem Acute respiratory tract infection is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants and young children in developed countries, and a major determinant of death in developing countries. In 2002, lower respiratory tract infections accounted for approximately 4 million deaths worldwide and 7% of all deaths that year [1]. Therefore, there is a huge need for new diagnostic too...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Six Commercialized Multiplex PCR Kits for the Diagnosis of Respiratory Infections
The molecular diagnosis of respiratory infection can be performed using different commercial multiplex-based PCR kits whose performances have been previously compared individually to those of conventional techniques. This study compared the practicability and the diagnostic performances of six CE-marked kits available in 2011 on the French market, including 2 detecting viruses and atypical bact...
متن کاملThe role of multiplex PCR test in identification of bacterial pathogens in lower respiratory tract infections
OBJECTIVES Lower respiratory tract infection is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. However establishing a microbial diagnosis for patients with lower respiratory tract infection is still challenging and is often achieved in only half of cases by conventional methods. This study was designed to compare the fast responsive PCR method with the culture method in lower resp...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Bacterial Infections with the Use of Multiplex PCR Assays.
The investigation of respiratory infections by molecular techniques provides important information about the epidemiology of respiratory disease, especially during the post-vaccination era. The objective of the present study was the detection of bacterial pathogens directly in clinical samples from patients with upper and lower respiratory tract infections using multiplex polymerase chain react...
متن کاملCost analysis of multiplex PCR testing for diagnosing respiratory virus infections.
We performed a cost analysis study using decision tree modeling to determine whether the use of multiplex PCR testing for respiratory viruses (xTAG RVP test) is a more or less costly strategy than the status quo testing methods used for the diagnosis of respiratory virus infections in pediatric patients. The decision tree model was constructed by using four testing strategies for respiratory vi...
