A Point-of-Care Paper-Based Biosensor to Detect and Treat Bronchitis

Being pioneered at McMaster University with international collaborators, a simple sputum test will detect infectious and allergic bronchitis in adults and children, reducing mis-diagnosis in developing countries and saving resources: time, steroids, antibiotics. A simple point of care paper-based diagnostic test in sputum will detect infective and allergic bronchitis in adults and children. This will help guide judicious use of currently available medications (steroids and antibiotics) to treat these disease"
