Within laboratory settings, the testing and diagnostics for RTI's have become an even more important topic

Recently, the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) Foundation hosted the webinar, "The Continuous Challenges of Non COVID Respiratory Tract Infections", to address non‑COVID respiratory tract infections. While most upper respiratory infections can resolve on their own, lower respiratory tract infections can pose a challenge, especially for infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. Currently, lower respiratory tract infections are the third leading cause of death in the world after heart disease and stroke and are the leading cause of death in countries of low economic status. The webinar is divided into three presentations.

Dr. Donna Wolk

Dr. Donna Wolk "Screening and diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections and surveillance options"

Dr. Leila Hojat

Dr. Leila Hojat "Pathogenesis, etiology and clinical manifestation of pneumonia"

Dr. Maryrose Laguio-Vila
