CLSI POCT15 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute report POCT15—Point-of-Care Testing for Infectious Diseases is intended for use in assessing, implementing, and managing programs for the detection, control, and/or management of infectious diseases using point-of-care testing (POCT) methodologies. Clinicians rely heavily on laboratory tests for the etiological diagnosis of infectious diseases, which guides both prognostication and management. The clinical importance of these results means that testing must be performed in an optimal manner, and the results must be interpreted with clear knowledge of the methodologies’ abilities and limitations. This report summarizes current methods and practice in POCT for infectious diseases.
