Advanced diagnostic platforms reform the diagnosis of infections diseases / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The development of diagnostic techniques played an important role in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.The traditional diagnostic techniques , such as gram stain , microscopy , culture, antigen/antibody detection and polymerase chain reaction , were widely used in the clinical diagnosis.But they couldn′t meet the demands of clinic and infectious diseases surveillance.Therefore, the point of care testing and multiplex testing based on advanced diagnostic platforms were developing rapidly , which might have the potential to change infectious diseases diagnostics.
