A 15 - minute blood test may reduce the number of unnecessary antibiotics given to patients at certain times up to 80 percent.

Doctors in Liverpool, Derbyshire, and the North East are already trying to test their finger, which tells a doctor in a quarter of an hour if a patient really needs antibiotics for a breast complaint, Klan Kosova reports.

The test which identifies whether a patient suffers from a bacterial infection or a virus while they sit in the waiting room they changed the general medicine decision to 48 percent of cases after a study was found.

This test reduced the number of unnecessary prescriptions given for respiratory problems by 80 percent, according to the test in a Dronfield, North Derbyshire practice.
