In this podcast, we discuss Eurofins Viracor's combined test for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B, designed to help differentiate between these respiratory pathogens. With overlapping symptoms between COVID-19 and the flu, this test provides crucial information to guide treatment decisions. The SARS-CoV-2 Plus Flu A/B test offers qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 and quantitative detection of both Influenza A and B, supporting more accurate and timely diagnoses for patients.

The donor and recipient CMV serostatus is D+/R+. The patient’s initial peri-operative course was complicated by difficult explant, primary graft dysfunction, respiratory failure requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, renal insufficiency and recurrent infectious concerns, including pseudomonas and stenotrophomonas pneumonias.
