METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE SEVERITY OF TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G01N33/68 

FIELD: medicine, phthisiology.

SUBSTANCE: in the experiment upon guinea pigs in blood plasma one should detect the concentration of taurine and glutamic acid and at taurine concentration being below 68 mcM/l and glutamic acid being below 76 mcM/l it is necessary to evaluate the state as severe, at taurine concentration ranged 68-89 mcM/l and that of glutamic acid ranged 125-227 mcM/l - as average severity degree, and at taurine and glutamic acid concentrations being above 89 and 227 mcM/l, correspondingly - as light severity degree. Application of the present method enables to increase information value and significance of the method in question and, also, detect body reactivity according to the state of its different systems.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of evaluation.
