INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Overview
ConnectDx offers a full range of RT-PCR testing panels designed to accurately detect pathogens across various infectious diseases. Our panels cover respiratory infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexual health, women’s health, wound care, nail panel, and gastrointestinal. With precise pathogen detection and antibiotic resistance identification, healthcare providers can deliver more effective, targeted treatments that improve patient outcomes.
In addition to these core areas, ConnectDx provides specialized testing for wound care infections, nail health, and gastrointestinal infections. These panels cover a broad spectrum of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens, ensuring comprehensive diagnostics for conditions that may otherwise go undetected. Each test is designed for optimal
sensitivity and specificity, giving clinicians the tools they need to make informed treatment decisions.
With a rapid turnaround time for results, our testing minimizes delays in care, helping reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and the misuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. This timely intervention leads to better patient management, fewer complications, and more efficient healthcare delivery, ultimately improving patient recovery and resource utilization.
