- Title
Robust classification of bacterial and viral infections via integrated host gene expression diagnostics.
- Authors
Sweeney, Timothy E.; Wong, Hector R.; Khatri, Purvesh
- Abstract
The article discusses the improved diagnostics for acute infections which could decrease morbidity and mortality by administering proper amount of dosage of antibiotics like the increasing of early antibiotics for patients with bacterial infections and reducing unnecessary antibiotics for patients without bacterial infections. Also discussed are the different methods of classifying bacterial and viral infections such as multicohort analysis and the 11-gene SepsisMetaScore.
