Can DNA Test Detect Pneumonia? by Hannah Joy on January 16, 2021 at 3:24 PM Yes, DNA test can identify secondary infections in Covid-19 patients, who are doubly at risk of developing pneumonia while on ventilation. For patients with the most severe forms of Covid-19, mechanical ventilation is often the only way to keep them alive, as doctors use anti-inflammatory therapies to treat their inflamed lungs. However, these patients are susceptible to further infections from bacteria and fungi that they may acquire while in hospital so called ventilator-associated pneumonia . ‘A DNA test can quickly identify patients who have double the risk of developing pneumonia while on ventilation.’ ....
Researchers Develop DNA Test to Identify Pneumonia in Patients With Severe Covid-19 FOLLOW US ON: Researchers have developed a DNA test to quickly identify secondary infections in Covid-19 patients, who have double the risk of developing pneumonia while on ventilation. For patients with the most severe forms of Covid-19, mechanical ventilation is often the only way to keep them alive, as doctors use anti-inflammatory therapies to treat their inflamed lungs. However, these patients are susceptible to further infections from bacteria and fungi that they may acquire while in the hospital so-called ventilator-associated pneumonia . Early on in the pandemic, we noticed that Covid-19 patients appeared to be particularly at risk of developing secondary pneumonia, and started using a rapid diagnostic test that we had developed for just such a situation, said co-author Andrew Conway Morris from the University of Cambridge. ....
Cambridge [UK], January 15 (ANI): A team of scientists and doctors from the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have developed a DNA test which they claim will quickly identify secondary infections in COVID-19 patients, who have double the risk of developing pneumonia while on ventilation. ....
Researchers have developed a DNA test to quickly identify secondary infections in COVID-19 patients, who have double the risk of developing pneumonia while on ventilation than non-COVID-19 patients. ....
