Did you know that the symptoms of bacterial and viral illness are often indistinguishable?

This similarity in symptoms can make it challenging to diagnose the type of infection accurately without specific medical tests. Common symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, and fatigue can be seen in both types of infections, underscoring the importance of proper medical evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment. While bacterial infections may respond to antibiotics, they are ineffective against viral infections, which may benefit from supportive care and, when necessary, antiviral medications.*

Were you tested with MeMed BV?

When you have an infection, your immune system responds by sending signals that can be measured in your blood. The MeMed BV test decodes these signals and scores the result, helping your doctor to determine if the infection is caused by a virus or bacteria. Your MeMed BV test result helps you get the most beneficial treatment.

*Note that the ultimate decision to provide you with treatment rests on many factors, and MeMed BV can be part of this decision-making process. Your care provider might choose to prescribe antibiotics or not based on their suspicion of bacterial or viral illness. Taking antibiotics unnecessarily won’t aid your recovery and significantly fuels antimicrobial resistance.
