Abstract:
The authors present a model that tests the economic value of a new diagnostic test that can identify type A and B influenza. Compared with traditional treatment without trying to objectively differentiate viral from bacterial infection, substantial cost savings may be achieved if diagnostic testing is appropriately utilized in a comprehensive influenza management program.
