METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF DEVELOPING BACTERIAL COMPLICATION OF STAPHYLOCOCCAL AETIOLOGY FOLLOWING INFLUENZA Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/50 G01N33/52 C12Q1/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: for the purpose of prediction of developing bacterial complication of a staphylococcal aetiology following influenza, the pure culture S. aureus is recovered from nasopharyngeal mucosal microflora to determine hemolytic activity (HA), antilysozyme activity (ALA), then S.aureus is co-incubated in vitro with type B influenza; S.aureus is analysed again for hemolytic and antilysozyme activity, and increasing S.aureus HA by 1 mm and more and/or ALA by 1 mcg/ml and more after co-incubation, a developing bacterial complication is predicted.

EFFECT: invention enables predicting the developing bacterial complication of a staphylococcal aetiology in the patients with influenza that gives the chance to plan and implement the targeted preventive therapeutic interventions reducing a period of staying in hospital.
