Novel Test May Enable Quick Reliable Detection of Sepsis
Researchers have developed a rapid specific diagnostic assay that could help physicians decide within an hour whether a patient has a systemic infection. Its potential to detect pathogen materials was demonstrated in animal studies and a prospective human clinical study, whose results also suggested that it could also serve as a companion diagnostic to monitor antibiotic and dialysis-like sepsis therapies.
