The Podcast by KevinMD · Understanding the unseen role of back-to-school diagnostics · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

Thank you for inviting me.

All right.

So just briefly share your story and journey, then we'll talk about your KevinMD article.

All right.

So your KevinMD article, very relevant at this time of year.

A lot of our school-aged children are dealing with respiratory illnesses.

Your article, How to Stay Safe from Back-to-School Illnesses.

For those who didn't get a chance to read it, tell us what it's about.

Now, I'm sure a lot of families and pediatricians are familiar with these point of care testing modalities, specifically with, say, strep testing.

Tell us some other common respiratory diseases that we have point of care diagnostic testing for.

And in your article, you mentioned when it comes to these rapid diagnostics, it could be either antigen versus molecular base.

Can you tell us the distinction between the two?

All right, so run us through a few scenarios.

Let's say for those parents who may be listening to you and their school-age children are coming back home with some upper respiratory symptoms.

Give us some scenarios where these parents would consider some type of rapid diagnostic tests.

Now, which of these tests are available over the counter versus which tests are available only through your pediatrician's or urgent care center office?

and specifically these tests for things like influenza and RSV?

Yes, and COVID.

And COVID.

And then how about available over-the-counter?
