Rapid diagnosis of sepsis using biomarker signatures
Diagnosis of sepsis is complicated by non-specific clinical definitions and delays in laboratory analysis using tests which may have very poor predictive values. The use of host biomarker signature sets, which when measured in combination have high predictive values, offers a paradigm shift forwards for rapid, near-patient diagnosis. These analyses more closely mirror the rapid blood chemistry ...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of sepsis
Fast and appropriate therapy is the cornerstone in the therapy of sepsis. However, the discrimination of sepsis from non-infectious causes of inflammation may be difficult. Biomarkers have been suggested to aid physicians in this decision. There is currently no biochemical technique available which alone allows a rapid and reliable discrimination between sepsis and non-infectious inflammation. ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Sepsis in Children Using the BACTEC Method
Background and purpose: Sepsis is a bacterial infection. Many patients lose their lives due to delayed diagnosis. The BACTEC method could be used for rapid and precise diagnosis of sepsis which can isolate different organisms in the shortest time with maximum sensitivity. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of positive blood cultures using the BACTEC in children with sepsis and to deter...
متن کاملBiomarker signatures of aging
Because people age differently, age is not a sufficient marker of susceptibility to disabilities, morbidities, and mortality. We measured nineteen blood biomarkers that include constituents of standard hematological measures, lipid biomarkers, and markers of inflammation and frailty in 4704 participants of the Long Life Family Study (LLFS), age range 30-110 years, and used an agglomerative algo...
متن کاملImportance of rapid infection diagnosis in surviving sepsis
Early infection diagnosis as the cause of a patient’s systemic inflammatory syndrome is an important facet of sepsis care bundles aimed at saving lives. Microbiological culture provides the main route for infection diagnosis but by its nature cannot provide time-critical results that can impact on early management. Consequently, broad-spectrum and high-potency antibiotics are essential during t...
