The Triple Threat: Has it changed since the last respiratory season?


Since the pandemic, there has been a triple threat of SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus during the respiratory seasons. Distinguishing between the three based on symptoms alone can be challenging, as they share common clinical manifestations, so diagnostic tests, including PCR and rapid antigen tests, have become crucial for accurate identification. While last year’s “tripledemic” brought a surge of influenza and RSV cases in addition to SARS-CoV-2 – how does this year’s respiratory season compare?

In 2024 SARS-CoV-2 and influenza are still present and increasing, although severe cases and hospitalizations are decreasing. Treatments for these respiratory infections are still effective, and syndromic testing might be applied in these cases, but testing for these main pathogens continues to be the primary need. We will discuss the important testing and patient care implications for this respiratory season.

Presented by industry expert Dr. Kristie Johnson, PhD, D(ABMM), this insightful program is designed to empower healthcare leaders in the medical laboratory industry to make informed decisions about their SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and RSV testing needs.
