Respiratory tract infection tests

Respiratory infections can be caused by a wide range of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, and are one of the most common reasons why people turn to healthcare professionals worldwide. Specific laboratory tests are necessary for an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment strategy. These tests are crucial in determining the type and condition of the infection, as clinical symptoms can be similar between different respiratory diseases and standard tests such as blood tests or X-rays are often not sufficiently informative.
