Abstract:
Methods for assessing pneumonia in a patient, methods for managing treatment of a patient suspected of having pneumonia, and methods of managing treatment in a patient suffering from pneumonia. The method of assessing pneumonia includes contacting a biological sample with reagents for detection and/or quantification of neutrophil-derived microparticles, determining a level of neutrophil-derived microparticles, and assessing pneumonia if the level is elevated. The method of managing treatment of a patient suspected of having pneumonia includes assessing pneumonia by calculating a concentration of neutrophil-derived microparticles, treating the patient where pneumonia is indicated, and determining treatment response by measuring a post treatment concentration of neutrophil-derived microparticles. The method of managing treatment in a patient suffering from pneumonia includes establishing a baseline concentration of neutrophil-derived microparticles, initiating treatment, and serially monitoring a concentration of neutrophil-derived microparticles during treatment.
