In this episode of “Answers From the Lab,” host Bobbi Pritt, M.D., chair of the Division of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, and Matthew Binnicker, Ph.D., a microbiologist and virologist and chief scientific officer of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, discuss recent developments in viral infections. Together, they explore:

  • Chikungunya virus (07:07): What it is, how it spreads, who is at risk, and best practices for testing.
  • Back-to-school viral trends (12:19): Common viruses that circulate during the school season, tips for keeping kids safe, and guidance for physicians on when to test.
  • The laboratorian’s role (18:27): How laboratory professionals contribute to managing viral infections within hospital systems and the broader community.
