Clinical Update: Respiratory Viruses and Updated Testing Recommendations
Respiratory viruses will be a significant cause of acute upper respiratory infection in the coming months. This Friday, the Physician Enterprise will host a Grand Rounds Clinical Update focused on the diagnosis of common respiratory viruses (including COVID-19 and Influenza A/B) as we prepare for the fall and winter months. By the end of this session, attendees will review the algorithm for the diagnosis of acute upper respiratory infections, recommendations for vaccinations, and considerations in triaging patients toward care.
