Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: the MMBV test was more accurate than the medical assessment in determining the etiology of the infection, also demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity.

Reviewers´ commentary: the MMBV test can be useful to discriminate bacterial from viral infections in pediatric emergency wards but needs further evaluation if decisions to use it.
