Southampton-led research has shown that implementing point-of-care testing in hospitals to diagnose influenza can lead to better treatment and faster recovery for patients. The researchers are now calling for routine use of these tests to become standard for patients admitted with acute respiratory symptoms during the influenza season.
The influenza virus causes seasonal epidemics of acute illnesses every winter. Adults who are admitted to hospitals are often taken to critical care wards and between 3% to 15% die in hospital. Diagnosis of influenza in hospitals takes time due to the turnaround time of the standard PCR test, which requires samples to be sent to a laboratory, leading to later antiviral treatment and isolation facility use.
