Title: Impact of respiratory virus molecular testing on antibiotic utilization in community-acquired pneumonia Cord-id: hr2x49wr Document date: 2017_12_1
ID: hr2x49wr
Snippet: We compared the clinical characteristics and antibiotic therapy of community-acquired pneumonia patients who were positive on a respiratory virus molecular test (polymerase chain reaction) with those who were negative. We found that respiratory virus molecular polymerase chain reaction testing has a minimal impact on reducing antibiotic utilization among viral pneumonia patients.
