Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are methods of diagnosis of a pathogen-associated disease. These methods comprise: providing a biological sample from a human subject; determining presence, absence and/or quantity of a bacterial pathogen, a viral pathogen, or a combination thereof, by a pathogen culture, a serum antibody detection test, a pathogen antigen detection test, a pathogen DNA and/or RNA detection test, or a combination thereof; determining in the sample, expression levels of at least one endogenous gene in which aberrant expression levels are associated with infection with a pathogen, by a microarray hybridization assay, RNA-seq assay, polymerase chain reaction assay, a LAMP assay, a ligase chain reaction assay, a Southern, Northern, or Western blot assay, an ELISA or a combination thereof. The subject can be diagnosed with the disease if the subject comprises the pathogen and an aberrant level of expression of an endogenous gene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of deterinining etiology of a pathogen-associated disease in a human subject, comprising: a) providing at least one biological sample from a human subject; b) detecting in the sample the presence, absence and/or quantity of a bacterial pathogen, a viral pathogen, or a combination thereof, by a pathogen culture, a serum antibody detection test, a pathogen antigen detection test, a pathogen DNA detection test, a pathogen RNA detection test, or a…
