That tool might finally be on its way. In a study proving feasibility, researchers at Duke Health showed that their testing technology can accurately distinguish between a viral and a bacterial infection for respiratory illness - a critical difference that determines whether antibiotics are warranted. And, importantly, the test provided results in under an hour. This is exciting progress. We ve been working on this for over a decade. We knew in 2016 that our test worked in the research setting, but it s always been our goal to have a test that could produce results rapidly, while patients are at their doctor s office. It s important that the distinction can be made quickly to en
