Summary:
POCT for Infectious
Diseases is emerging from a time when most POC tests were
inferior to laboratory-based methods, to a new era of
molecular and other emerging POC technologies which promise
to provide near-laboratory-quality results at POC.
Currently-available POC for infections will be summarized;
two major examples, HIV and influenza, discussed in more
depth, and emerging technologies reviewed.
Objectives:
After completing this
webinar, attendees will be able to:
-
Summarize current
POCT for infections
-
Discuss critical
issues relating to POC HIV testing
-
Discuss critical
issues relating to POC influenza testing
-
Recognize emerging
POC technologies for detection of infections.
