Diagnosis of infection utilizing accellix CD64

چکیده
Background/Purpose Differentiating patients who are infected or not in the intensive care unit (ICU) can be very difficult. Present diagnostic tests remain inadequate. CD64 has been found to be a potentially useful marker to identify infected patients. Unfortunately, CD64 measured by standard flow cytometers in a laboratory takes hours to perform. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Accellix CD64 instrument which provides results in 20 minutes in ICU patients with and without infections.

Comparison of cd64 levels performed by the facs and accellix systems
Background/Purpose Medical flow cytometry (FACS) provides diagnostic answers by detecting the presence and concentration of cell populations, and/or by measuring concentrations of cell surface markers expressed on cells. Currently, FACS is limited to high complexity laboratories with time consuming pre-analytical steps, requiring trained technologists available only during business hours. The A...

INTRODUCTION Cluster of differentiation 64 (CD64) is expressed on neutrophils during bacterial infections and sepsis. The aim of our study was to assess the CD64 expression in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with a triage diagnosis of acute respiratory failure (ARF) and/or dyspnea and to verify a relationship between its value and the presence of infection. METHODS We asses...
