Embodiment Construction

[0043] Described herein are methods for administering immunoglobulins and devices for their use. The method may generally comprise measuring the level of hemolysis in the patient, and determining whether the patient is suitable for immunoglobulin therapy, and / or determining whether immunoglobulin therapy should be continued. Because hemolysis can be a side effect of immunoglobulin therapy (a systemic complication leading to life-threatening events such as acute renal failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation), the methods described herein can be advantageously monitored prior to or during treatment Hemolysis increases the success rate of immunoglobulin therapy.

Abstract

Breath analysis systems and methods test for infectious diseases in exhaled breath gas or condensate. An automatic breath sampling system can obtain reliable samples over a variety of clinical situations. In some variations, the system is modular system and can protect the equipment and clinician from contamination. In some variations, the system can be a point-of-care rapid-result instrument. In some variations, the system can be configured for off-line analysis in which case the collected sample is presented to a stand-alone analyzer for measurement.

Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 62 / 066,094, filed October 20, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of breath analysis, and more particularly, the present invention relates to screening, monitoring, diagnosing and evaluating the presence and status of infectious diseases in the breath. Background technique [0004] Screening for infectious diseases typically requires a blood test or a test of another bodily fluid, such as saliva, which can take several hours to perform and usually needs to be performed at a central location where the blood analysis equipment is located. Therefore, analysis of blood or body fluids is less than ideal for screening a person for infectious diseases unless the person is quarantined while the analysis is performed, which is impractical and ineffectiv...
