Abstract:
This review explores the transformative impact of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) on
pneumonia management. Pneumonia, a global health challenge, often requires swift
identification of causative pathogens for effective treatment. Traditional diagnostic
methods, while valuable, have limitations, prompting the rise of RDTs. The review
highlights the advantages, challenges, and future directions of RDTs, emphasizing their
potential to provide real-time pathogen identification, improve treatment strategies,
and enhance patient care in the context of pneumonia.
