Start from the syndrome
Clinicians think in syndromes, not analytes. Each syndrome page explains the clinical problem, the diagnostic pathway, and the tests that answer it.
Fever / PUO
Acute febrile illness and pyrexia of unknown origin remain among the commonest reasons for hospital admission; a substantial proportion of cases stay undiagnosed with conventional testing.
Sepsis
Sepsis is a medical emergency in which each hour of delay to effective therapy worsens survival; rapid pathogen identification directly supports outcome.
CNS Infection (Meningitis / Encephalitis)
Bacterial meningitis can be fatal within 24 hours; early aetiological diagnosis of CNS infection determines therapy and outcome.
Respiratory Infection
Pneumonia and respiratory tract infections are leading causes of admission; viral and bacterial aetiologies require different management.
Tuberculosis
TB requires a stepped diagnostic pathway: smear, rapid molecular testing, culture, and drug susceptibility testing each answer a different question.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
STIs are frequently asymptomatic or overlapping; molecular testing enables accurate aetiological diagnosis and partner management.
Pediatric Infections
Children present non-specifically and deteriorate quickly; rapid aetiological testing supports timely, appropriate therapy.
Transplant & Immunocompromised Infections
Immunosuppressed patients are vulnerable to opportunistic viral, bacterial and fungal infections that demand rapid, broad diagnostic coverage.
Fungal Infection
Invasive fungal disease is difficult to diagnose early; biomarkers, culture and molecular tests each contribute evidence.
Ophthalmic Infection
Ocular infections can threaten sight within days; small-volume samples make multiplex molecular testing particularly valuable.
