Most respiratory viruses typically follow a seasonal outbreak pattern. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, the pattern of pathogen infections has shifted, leading to an unexpected increase in respiratory infections outside the usual seasonal cycles.
These changes have increased the complexity of clinical diagnostics and treatment strategies, highlighting the need for a more strategic and flexible approach to infectious disease surveillance and management.

Clinicians face various challenges in diagnosing infectious diseases.
Syndromic testing, a diagnostic method that simultaneously detects multiple pathogens responsible for a specific set of symptoms (syndrome) using a single test, helps address diagnostic uncertainties by enabling effective disease management and treatment decisions.
