EVALUATION OF POINT-OF-CARE MULTIPLEX POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION IN GUIDING ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT OF PATIENTS ACUTELY ADMITTED WITH SUSPECTED COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA IN DENMARK: A MULTICENTRE RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL.

BackgroundRapid and accurate detection of pathogens is needed in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) to enable appropriate antibiotics and to slow the development of antibiotic resistance.We aimed to compare the effect of point-of-care (POC) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of respiratory pathogens added to standard care with standard care
