SEPSIS – A clinical problem.
Mortality of 1400 deaths per day worldwide, is attributed to sepsis. Sepsis is a medical emergency
where failure to initiate and continue effective management can proceed to
organ dysfunction with health potential, resulting in depth with mortality up to 50%
in certain populations.
Treat timely, save a life!
A survival rate of
82% was recorded when an effective antimicrobial was administrated within one
hour of documented sepsis.
Conventional algorithm versus ID-Sepsis Multiplex diagnosis
Clinical science and symptoms suggestive.
- Fever
- Hypothermia
- Altered mental status
- Hypertension
- Dyspnea
- Abdominal pain or distinction.
Conventional blood culture tests often have low sensitivity and false negatives.
The high sensitivity of IDLABS sepsis
panel enables first and accurate identification of casual pathogens with just one test.
Sepsis multiplex while combined with blood culture provides 18% improvement in febrile neutropenia,
especially when fever persist and invasive fungal infection is suspected.
ID-SEPSIS Multiplex PCR : Solution for unmet needs.
IDLABS Sepsis panel is a 2-step real time nested multiplex PCR assay that
detects and identifies more than 30 sepsis causing pathogens simultaneously.
Key Features
- Only 2ML blood required
- Direct testing from whole blood.
- Time to perform the test is approximately five hours.
- Initiation of antibiotic therapy testing will not hamper the diagnosis.
- Screens for viruses, hanging as well as bacteria with their drug resistance markers in a single sample.
Advantages.
- The gold standard technology for PCR.
- Hi-level amplification: Higher sensitivity.
- Nested PCR: Higher specificity
- Real-time data helps target quantification.
