The Choosing Wisely Initiative aims to collect statements from medical societies all over the world on medical interventions that result in no benefit to patients, with the potential to cause harm. In this article we present the views of the Diagnostic Laboratory Group at the Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases (SBI). Ten experts from SBI were asked to list 10 diagnostic tests that were perceived as unnecessary in the field of infectious diseases. After voting for the more relevant topics, a questionnaire was sent to all SBI members, in order to select for the most important items. A total of 482 votes were obtained, and the top 10 results are shown in this manuscript. The Choosing Wisely statements of SBI should facilitate clinical practice by optimizing the use of diagnostic resources in the field of infectious diseases.
明智选择倡议旨在收集来自世界各地医学协会的声明，内容是关于对患者没有益处但可能造成伤害的医疗干预措施。在本文中，我们展示了巴西传染病学会（SBI）诊断实验室小组的观点。SBI 邀请了 10 名专家列出他们认为在传染病领域不必要的 10 项诊断检测。在对更相关的主题进行投票后，向所有 SBI 成员发送了一份问卷，以选择最重要的项目。共获得了 482 票，本文展示了排名前十的结果。SBI 的明智选择声明应该通过优化传染病领域诊断资源的使用来促进临床实践。
