COVID-19 patient management

The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing, unprecedented global health challenge.
bioMérieux is proud to be a part of the global response with the development of three of the first commercially available diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2, along with additional critical tests for COVID-19 patients management.
Every COVID-19 patient comes with a unique profile and experiences the disease differently. Patient management means asking the right questions, finding the right answers and providing appropriate care the entire length of the patient pathway.

COVID-19 patient management: A transversal approach
Patients with suspected COVID-19 present with a broad array of symptoms – many of which can also be caused by other diseases. Additionally, patients with serious COVID-19 infections frequently experience secondary opportunistic infections.
COVID-19 patient management requires the healthcare team to be alert to the patient’s varied needs from primary diagnosis to the recovery period.
Throughout the patient pathway, diagnostic tests provide vital information to support improved patient care decision-making.
PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS |
||
Real-time PCR test that can be run on most commercial PCR platforms CE-IVD |
||
