METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF CLINICAL OUTCOME OF CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTION IN INFANTS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61B5/00 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for prediction of clinical outcome of Cytomegalovirus infection in infants. Risk factors are determined from past and clinical-laboratory indices of child and mother. In child are detected: presence of aspiration pneumonia, content of erythrocytes and eosinophils, presence atrioventricular heart block, reduced blood volume, dilatation pulmonary heart, squint, severe state at moment of manifestation, presence of immunoglobulin M in venous blood. From mother's medical history are identified: gestational disturbance in mother-foetus, foetoplacental failure, presence of late gestosis and long anhydrous period during delivery. Numeric indicators are evaluated by examination results. Prognostic coefficients are determined by formulas F₁ and F₂ with further comparison of their values. If F₁ is more than F₂ low probability is predicted, and if F₂ is greater than or equal to F₁ - high probability of developing gross organ pathology is predicted.

EFFECT: method enables accurately predicting clinical outcome of Cytomegalovirus infection in infants, well-timed therapeutic measures by assessing most significant anamnestic and clinical-laboratory values.
