Future management of viral diseases: role of new technologies and new approaches in microbial interactions.
Clinical Microbiology and Infection 2019 Februrary
BACKGROUND: New technologies allow rapid detecting and counting of virus genomes in clinical specimens, defining susceptibility to specific antivirals, pinpointing molecular sequences correlated to virulence traits, and identifying viral and host factors driving resolution or chronicity of infections. As a result, during the past three decades the diagnostic virology laboratory has become crucial for patient care and an integral component of the multifarious armamentarium for patient management. This change in paradigm has caused obsolescence of methods once considered the reference standard of infectious disease diagnosis that were used to detect whole or specific components of virions in the specimen.
OBJECTIVES: This review provides an overview of standard and novel technologies applied to molecular diagnosis of viral infections and illustrates some crucial points for correcting interpretation of the laboratory data.
SOURCES: Peer-reviewed literature of topics pertinent to this review.
CONTENT AND IMPLICATIONS: New technologies are reinventing the way virologic diagnoses are made, with a conversion to new, simpler-to-use platforms. Although indicated for the same purpose, not all methods are equal and can yield different results. Further, tests identifying multiple analytes at once can detect microorganisms present or activated as a result of pathologic processes triggered by other pathogens or noninfectious causes. Thus, new directions will have to be taken in the way in which the diagnoses of viral diseases are performed. This represents a breakthrough in the clinical virology laboratory.
