ROSETTA: A Controlled, Blinded Study to Validate the Diagnostic Accuracy and Assess the Clinical Utility of a Host-response Based Diagnostic Tool for Distinguishing Between Bacterial and Viral Etiologies in Pediatric Patients Presenting to the ED With Suspicion of Acute Infection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To externally validate the diagnostic accuracy and assess the clinical utility of a host-response based diagnostic tool called ImmunoXpert™, for differentiating between bacterial and viral etiologies in pediatric patients >3 months old with suspicion of Respiratory tract infection (RTI) or Fever without Source (FWS)

Diagnostic Test: ImmunoXpert™
The ImmunoXpert™ technology employs a biochemical assay that measures a proprietary combination of three biomarkers of the immune system coupled with pattern recognition algorithms that classify the source of an infection as bacterial or viral
