Respiratory Infectious Disease Panel
Respiratory tract infections are classified into the upper respiratory tract infections and lower respiratory tract infections. This occurs when pathogens gain entry to the respiratory tract through inhalation of droplets. Knowing the causative agent of the infection helps healthcare providers determine the most appropriate treatment plan to avoid life-threatening complications, especially for high-risk patients.
