INSTANT DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR ACUTE INTESTINAL INFECTIONS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N33/577 G01N33/53 G01N33/50 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention represents an instant diagnostic technique for acute intestinal infections (AIIs), involving detecting indication markers of the AII aetiology with the use of laboratory immunology tests, differing by the fact that the AII aetiology is stated in children of an early age category, preferentially in the newborn children; that is accompanied by measuring the concentration of cytokine, interleukin IL-10 in coprofiltrate and diagnosing chronic placental insufficiency (CPI); a probability (P) of the bacterial AII aetiology is calculated; the value P of more than 50% testifies to the bacterial AII aetiology, while the value P being less than 50% shows the absence of the bacterial AII aetiology, and enables considering the diagnostics second stage to be necessary, which implies measuring the concentration of cytokine, interleukin IL-4 in coprofiltrate; the time of latching the newborn child to the breast is established with considering the type of feeding; that is combined with calculating a probability (P) of the viral or viral-bacterial AII aetiology, with the value P of more than 50% testifying to the viral AII aetiology, while the value being less than 50% makes it possible to state the viral-bacterial AII aetiology.

EFFECT: more accurate diagnosing of the aetiology of acute intestinal infection and simplifying the diagnostic procedure.
