Article: « Un test unique pour diagnostiquer toutes les maladies infectieuses »

Response:
Researchers have developed a new diagnostic test that can identify the presence of any virus, bacterium, or parasite by detecting the genetic material of all known pathogens. This universal test, called « VirScan, » works by exposing a patient’s blood sample to a set of synthetic viral, bacterial, and parasitic genes. If the sample contains genetic material from a pathogen, the test will detect and identify it. VirScan can potentially detect thousands of pathogens simultaneously, making it a powerful tool for diagnosing various infectious diseases. However, further studies and validation are needed before VirScan can be used in clinical settings.
