Interventions
one purple top tube of whole blood (2-3 cc) to be used for the MeMed Key® device processing without the need for centrifuge. The MeMed BV® test takes approximately 15 minutes to process and result. After, the sample has been processed and the MeMed BV® test has resulted, the sample of blood will be discarded for each patient enrolled in the study.
Usual care includes diagnostic hematology, chemistry, biomarkers, and culture results along with imaging, consults, and medications, in the treatment of acute viral and/or bacterial illness.
