Cost-effectiveness of rapid diagnosis of viral respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients.

P C Woo1, S S Chiu, W H Seto, M Peiris.   

Abstract

Rapid diagnosis of respiratory viral infections in children resulted in significantly reduced hospital stays, antibiotic use, and laboratory utilization compared with those of a matched group of patients from the previous year who were diagnosed by virus culture. We demonstrate that rapid diagnosis of respiratory infections in children is a cost-effective procedure.
