Highlight from this Publication

“In summary, we present the first correlation study of rapid POC calprotectin testing in a pediatric IBD cohort in the United States. Unlike the conventional send-out ELISA which typically takes 10-14 d to result, the future clinical use of POC calprotectin could improve the utility in the decision-making process if levels were available at or near the time of actual care.”
