1 Point of care testing for respiratory viruses Jen Kok Medical Virologist Centre for Infectious Diseases and Microbiology Laboratory Services Pathology West ICPMR Westmead Hospital

2 Outline rationale for testing, testing methods and impact of testing factors affecting performance of tests sample, transport, age of patient, novel virus examples of platforms ICT, FIA, LAMP, RT-PCR future of POCT

3 Why test those meeting clinical case definition of ILI (fever + cough/sore throat)? individual patient management antivirals obviates unnecessary tests and treatments infection control measures epidemiological purposes emerging pathogens monitoring of secular trends of existing pathogens pandemic preparedness planning

4 Novel antiviral agents for respiratory viruses Virus Existing agents Novel agents Influenza RSV NIs (Oseltamivir, Zanamivir, Laninamivir, Peramivir) Favipiravir Adamantanes Ribavirin Palivizumab Motavizumab VX-787 Fludase (DAS181) Monoclonal antibodies AVI-7100 Presatovir (GS-5806) ALS RI-001 ALN-RSV01 TMC MDT-637 ALX-0171

5 Novel antiviral agents for respiratory viruses Virus Existing agents Novel agents in development Parainfluenza virus - DAS181 (Fludase ) Rhinovirus - Vapendavir (BTA798) SNG001 (IFN-β) Adenovirus Cidofovir Brincidofovir (CMX001)

8 Respiratory virus diagnostic methods Type of test Sensitivity Turn around time POCT 18-77% 15 mins Traditional nucleic acid ~98-100% ~4 hours detection icpmr Advantages Rapid Simple bedside test No need for specialised laboratory Typing possible Expanding menu Sensitive Typing and subtyping Can detect viable and nonviable virus Disadvantages (Expensive) Limited shelf life Lower sensitivity False positives and negatives Specimen quality important Requires technical expertise and specialised equipment Expensive
