Pneumonia & Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) remain the leading cause of death from infectious diseases.1 Because pneumonia presents with overlapping symptoms, identifying the causative pathogen can be challenging. As a result, patients are often prescribed antimicrobials that may be suboptimal.

A quick diagnosis can assist with shortening the time to effective antibiotic administration, improving early antibiotic optimization, lowering ICU mortality rate and reducing ICU and overall hospital costs.2-5 

The BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® Pneumonia (PN) Panels deliver fast, accurate pathogen identification in about one hour, significantly improving the adequacy of initial antibiotic therapy and accelerating the start of effective treatment.2
