DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR ACUTE CEREBRAL VASCULITIS IN CHILDREN WITH NEUROINFECTIONS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly to neuroinfectious pathology, and can be used for life-time diagnostics of acute cerebral vasculitis in children with neuroinfections. It involves acute thrombocyte count - X1 (×109/l), blood D-dimer index - X2 (mcg/l), circulating endotheliocyte count - X3 (cells), state of consciousness - X4 (1 - clear, 2-clouding, 3 - semicoma, 4 - coma), observed pareses - X5 (0 - no pareses, 1 - observed pareses), and discriminant function calculation by formula: LDF1=-15.510+0.021·X1+0.003·X2+3.975·X3+1.033·X4-2.851·X5 LDF2=-46.301+0.055·X1+0.012·X2+4.914·X3-1.307·X4+3.610·X5. If LDF1 > LDF2 is stated, no cerebral vasculitis is diagnosed, while LDF1 < LDF2 shows cerebral vasculitis to be diagnosed.

EFFECT: invention allows more accurate diagnosing, technique is less traumatic, low-cost, most reliable and available, allows the well-timed administration of a required therapy.
