Clinical Significance of Viral Diagnosti

Diagnostics in virology has become a very important tool in both diagnosis and prognosis of a disease. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of an infection should enhance patient outcome by enabling early initiation of appropriate therapy and thus implementation of relevant infection-control measures. Virological diagnostic methods may be implemented as adjuncts to the epidemiologic investigation of infectious disease outbreaks.Thus, paving a way for the development of newer antiviral drugs. Molecular diagnostics has helped in overcoming the various challenges and has helped the clinicians in determining the appropriate therapy to be initiated.
