An innovative 15-minute blood test which can fast-track the diagnosis of children with potentially life-threatening conditions is being trialled by the NHS this winter. The hi-tech blood test can distinguish between bacterial or viral infections much more quickly than traditional tests – so serious diseases like sepsis or meningitis can be picked up sooner. The University of Liverpool s Professor Enitan Carrol is leading the NHS England-funded trial of the technology in three hospitals, with doctors saying it could make a “vital difference” to the care of children.  The post NHS hospitals trialling 15-minute blood test for life-threatening conditions in children appeared first on News.
