Scientific Reports (Nature) · 2024
Curated peer-reviewed / authoritative reference. Open the source link for the full text.
Rapid syndromic testing tailored to febrile and seriously ill children, designed around small sample volumes.
Children deteriorate quickly and present non-specifically; separating self-limiting viral illness from sepsis, meningitis or pneumonia cannot be done clinically alone.
Data to be updated by ID Labs scientific team.
Conventional single-pathogen approaches are slow, sample-hungry and frequently inconclusive in this syndrome.
