Acute lower respiratory tract infection

Disease

Note: If Lower respiratory pathogen panel is negative and does not include most common pathogens.

Note: As an alternative to Lower respiratory pathogen panel if negative and might not have all targets.

Note: Alternative to Comprehensive Metabolic Panel.

Note: If minirespiratory pathogen panel is negative and does not give the diagnosis.

Note: Can be used as an alternative to Lower Respiratory Pathogen Panel as it cand be difficult to collect sputum or bronchial wash.

Note: Used as an alternative to Lower respiratory pathogen panel if negative and might not contain all targets.

Note: Used for evaluation of immunity to SARS CoV-2; coronavirus.

Note: Usually part of the syndromic (infectious disease pathogen) panel by molecular.

Note: Alternative to RPP panel.

Note: Alternative to RPP panel, or molecular method.

Note: Used for diagnosis of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus strain SARS-CoV-2 if indicated.

Note: Rule out yeast infection, especially in immunocompromised patients.
