Authors' recommendations:
Introducing rapid RT-PCR, in replacement of RDTs and the traditional RT-PCR technique, to diagnose influenza could make tests self-financing and would product substantial savings. However, such a conclusion can be influenced by several factors, such as the prevalence of influenza, the age of the target population and the technology used (including the number and cost of analyses). These factors limit the scope of the conclusion which therefore can in no way be generalized.
