    Snippet: The length of stay was shorter for flupositive than for flu-negative subjects, implying the usefulness of rapid diagnosis for physicians to make decisions such as discontinuation of antibiotics and prompt patient discharge.

    Document: The length of stay was shorter for flupositive than for flu-negative subjects, implying the usefulness of rapid diagnosis for physicians to make decisions such as discontinuation of antibiotics and prompt patient discharge. [10] [11] [12] [13] A majority of flu-positive patients had either pulmonary or heart disease backgrounds, in line with their ages. Most often older adults or those with chronic pulmonary, cardiac, and metabolic or other disease have a more complicated influenza illness with subsequent secondary bacterial infections. 2,14-16 Different specimen types have been proposed by different for influenza virus detection. Flocked nasal and/or throat swabs or gargling are the best choices in this regard. 17, 18 However, the frequency of positive results decreased from nasopharyngeal (65%) to throat swab (30%) to sputum (5%) samples. This finding suggests that the molecular influenza tests show different sensitivity depending on the specimen types, being the difference in favor of nasopharyngeal swabs.
