New tests for the rapid diagnosis of infection in children.
The development of new and more rapid methods by which to diagnose infectious diseases has just begun. Although many assays for the rapid detection of important pediatric pathogens are widely available now, new and improved assays continue to be created and marketed. It is clear that rapid diagnosis will become increasingly available to pediatricians and will assist in the diagnosis and treatment of infections in children.
