Abstract
Global Healthcare problems as antibiotic resistance and viral epidemics demonstrates that we need particularly verify the etiology of respiratory tract infection. Not only viruses from bacteria should be distinguished, but viral pathogens also must be exactly differentiated. To solve this task syndromic testing inclinical microbiology can be used - to test wide list of possible pathogens we use one multiplex panel includes viruses, bacteria and, if need, also fungi. Global experience of such approach demonstrates that the role of viruses is greatly underestimated during lower respiratory tract infections and the therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics is unfoundedin this case. Published data demonstrates that syndromic approach during respiratory tract infections diagnostics promotes better detection the etiological agents, more efficiency if mixt infections, support of rational antibiotic therapy and better epidemiological outcome.
