METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES IN HUMANS

摘要

Screening human subjects for vector-borne disease is provided and carried out using thymidine kinase 1 alone or in combination with c-reactive protein as biomarkers which are measured in a blood sample, and the measurements are used to compute an index that allows a practitioner to compare results from different subjects and between different populations of subjects, and the screening for vector-borne disease can also be used on subjects that are undergoing treatment to monitor the progress of an infection and the results of the treatment.
