METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF RATE OF ACUTE INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN INFANTS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/49 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for prediction of rate of acute infectious diseases in infants with determining the immune status values on the first and fifth postnatal day: absolute lymphocyte count, differentiation marker carriers CD3, CD4, CD8, CD 19, CD56, CD95, a spontaneous nitroblue tetrazolium test value (NBTsp), a level of a phagocytic coefficient (PC), blood serum immunoglobulin A, M, G (IgA, IgM, IgG) concentrations, and further calculating a forecasting index (Ifor) with using a certain equation of multiple linear regression if Ifor does not exceed 3.2, a probability of no more than one acute infectious disease in an infant is concluded; if Ifor is within 3.2-3.7, 2 to 5 probable acute infectious diseases in an infant is stated; if Ifor exceeds 3.7, probability of more than 5 acute infectious diseases in an infant is concluded.

EFFECT: higher prediction accuracy.
