TL;DR
Use of Direct Flu/RSV provides results rapidly, which leads to more appropriate use of oseltamivir, and the ease of use of this assay and quick TAT allows for prompt decision‐making, which is essential for patient care and effective disease control during the influenza season.

RSV infection is associated with substantial morbidity in U.S. children in both inpatient and outpatient settings, suggesting that control strategies targeting only high-risk children will have a limited effect on the total disease burden of RSV infection.
New England Journal of MedicineRespiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Elderly and High-Risk Adults
2,212 Citations2005Ann R. Falsey, Patricia Hennessey +3 more
RSV infection is an important illness in elderly and high-risk adults, with a disease burden similar to that of nonpandemic influenza A in a population in which the prevalence of vaccination for influenza is high.

The FilmArray Respiratory Panel (RP) multiplexed nucleic acid amplification test was compared to laboratory-developed real-time PCR assays for the detection of various respiratory viruses and certain bacterial pathogens and detection of coinfections and correct identification of influenza A virus subtypes were comparable to those of real- time PCR.

Results from the FilmArray Respiratory Panel do not appear to impact admission or antibiotic prescription, with the exception of a lower admission rate for children who tested positive for influenza B.
