Abstract: Recommendations I nfluenza, a contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses, is responsible for more than 300,000 deaths worldwide each year. 1 In history, influenza has caused some of the deadliest pandemics, such as the "Spanish flu", 2 the swine flu pandemic, 3 and the H5N1 zoonotic outbreak.4 An important lesson from the influenza pandemics and the recent COVID-19 pandemic is the need for early quarantine and isolation of patients to prevent spreading of viruses.However, quarantine is challenging with influenza due to presymptomatic influenza-virus transmission.Therefore, presymptomatic detection of influenza in massive screening is critical for successful control of future influenza outbreaks, which requires diagnostics with high accuracy, high specificity, high speed, and low cost.
