Description:
Pulmonary infections are important causes of global morbidity and mortality, but diagnostics are often limited by the ability to collect specimens easily, safely, and in a cost-effective manner. We review recent advances in the collection of infectious aerosols from patients with TB and with influenza. Although this research has been focused on assessing the infectious potential of such patients, we propose that these methods have the potential to lead to the use of patient-generated microbial aerosols as noninvasive diagnostic tests of disease and tests of infectiousness.
