Marker combinations for diagnosing infections and methods of use thereof

Abstract

A method of determining an infection type in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the concentration of a first determinant selected from the group consisting of the determinants which are set forth in Table 1 and a second determinant selected from the group of the determinants which are set forth in Table 2 in a subject derived sample, wherein the concentration is indicative of the infection type.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is that it limits the number of determindents (measurable factors) in a system or process to only one or at most two per measurement. This helps improve accuracy and efficiency when measuring various parameters within a given space.

Problems solved by technology

This patent discusses identifying biological signs and determining factors associated with bacterial and viral infections through various means like DNA sequencing and analysis. However, current technologies used for this purpose face limitations including poor diagnostic accuracy, requiring long time frames, failing to distinguish between different types of bacteria, and requiring access to the infection site. These issues lead to incorrect prescribing of antibiotics by medical professionals, contributing to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, there is a technical need for a fast and accurate way to identify the cause of infection without compromising patient care or promoting excessive use of antibiotics.
