A child with deadly brain inflammation. A baby battling meningitis. A young patient with a rare case of whooping cough. At a hospital in Pune, India, rapid molecular testing is helping doctors diagnose infections faster than ever - giving patients a second chance when every minute counts.
In the high-stakes world of infectious disease diagnosis, time is a powerful ally. At the Government Medical College in Pune, India, doctors now have speed on their side – equipped with the QIAstat, a rapid molecular diagnostic tool, that enables swift, informed treatment decisions when it matters most.
Dr. Rajesh Karyakarte and Dr. Suvarna Joshi, microbiologists at the college, have witnessed firsthand how syndromic testing is reshaping patient care. In the following case examples, we take you inside the hospital where rapid diagnostics are rewriting outcomes and reshaping public health.
