RevoDx Sepsis Pathogen PLUS Detection Kit

Sepsis is a syndrome that is followed by organ failure due to an uncontrolled inflammatory response of the host against infection. Early diagnosis of bloodstream infections, including those caused by bacteria and fungi, is central to reducing drastic infection-related consequences, such as significant risks of morbidity and mortality. The survival rate of septic patients mainly depends on a rapid and reliable diagnosis, since in the case of severe sepsis there is an average 7.6% decrease in survival rate per hour from the onset of hypotension without effective antimicrobial treatment. Conventional method, blood culture, has some disadvantages with regard to the desired rapidity and sensitivity. Furthermore, it is influenced by various factors and can reduce the chance of a positive result. During severe infection, empirical antibiotic therapy is inappropriate in roughly one-third of cases, and this substantially increases mortality and hospital length of stay. Furthermore, delays in optimal antimicrobial therapy may drive poor health care quality as well as increase antimicrobial resistance. As Idil Biotech, we provide a solution to all the difficulties experienced in sepsis with the RevoDx Sepsis Pathogen PLUS Detection Kit.
