You don’t need to send comprehensive viral tests in the majority of children with cough and congestion. Just make a clinical diagnosis dang it!
Lyrics
Adeno, rhino, entero too
swabbing a nose just for something to do
RSV, HSV, EBV, no!
Save all that money and let the kid go
Influenza, COVID, why not some more?
Big viral panels? Show them the door!
[chorus]
What happened to the history and physical?
you don’t need a nasal swab just to look cool
comprehensive viral panels are not for me
Clinical diagnoses are always free
