Although rapid diagnostic testing is generally unnecessary, it may be useful at times for implementing appropriate infection control, monitoring seasonal patterns of respiratory pathogens, restricting antimicrobial use, or providing confirmation of the diagnosis in children with unusual clinical presentations or severe disease. Timely diagnosis of specific viral respiratory pathogens may occasionally be necessary to guide specific antiviral therapy in children with high-risk conditions or severe illness with influenza or RSV. Although the risk of respiratory failure is relatively low for most children with RSV bronchiolitis, a small number of severely affected infants will require assisted ventilation in most intensive care units each year.
