Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a blood test that measures MxA and CRP levels to differentiate between viral and bacterial respiratory infections in adults.
- A total of 537 patients were analyzed, leading to the development of a diagnostic equation with high sensitivity for bacterial infections (91.6%).
- The findings suggest that using MxA and CRP measurements can effectively identify the type of respiratory infection, helping guide appropriate treatment.
