Recent innovations in infectious disease diagnostics Diagnostics InfectiousDiseases TuftsMedicalCtr BrighamWomens
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Oct 17 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. Throughout the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which has been caused by the spread of the highly infectious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 , scientists have developed various innovative diagnostic tools, many of which have been extended beyond the boundaries of the conventional clinical microbiological laboratory.
The utilization of alternative and non-invasive sample types has also been reported, such that the diagnostic samples are not restricted to blood specimens of infected individuals. Recently, saliva and dried blood spots have been used for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in which saliva can be used for disease diagnosis, while dried blood spots can be used for surveillance purposes.
Researchers have also validated a novel analytical method to analyze three proteins simultaneously. This method can accurately distinguish between bacterial and viral infections in ill patients.
