In our limited cohort of patients, there was significant concordance between the 2 testing modalities primarily due to negative tests. DSS did not provide significant additional yield in the infectious diagnosis in our cohort compared to CT. Short TAT may provide advantage in the detection of fastidious organisms, but high cost remains a limitation. Larger sample size may reveal a clinically meaningful difference.
