Abstract: A method of classifying an infectious disease in a subject are disclosed. The method comprises: (a) measuring the amount of at least one protein set forth in Table 4 and at least one protein set forth in Table 6 in a sample derived from the subject; and (b) ruling in or ruling out a viral disease based on the amount of the at least one protein set forth in Table 4 and determining the severity of the viral disease based on the amount of the at least one protein set forth in Table 6.

Abstract: A method of determining a management course for treating a subject showing symptoms of a disease is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the TRAIL protein level in a blood sample of the subject, wherein when the TRAIL level is above a predetermined amount, the subject is treated as a low-risk patient.

Abstract: In a cartridge device for analyzing a body liquid, a first member of the cartridge has two or more wells for performing assays, and a second member of the cartridge has a compartment for holding one or more disposable pipette tips.

Abstract: A method of analyzing biological data containing expression values of a plurality of polypeptides in the blood of a subject. The method comprises: calculating a distance between a segment of a curved line and an axis defined by a direction, the distance being calculated at a point over the curved line defined by a coordinate along the direction. The method further comprises correlating the distance to the presence of, absence of, or likelihood that the subject has, a bacterial infection. The coordinate is defined by a combination of the expression values, wherein at least 90% of the segment is between a lower bound line and an upper bound line.

Abstract: Methods of determining infection type are disclosed based on the amount of CD177 RNA and the amount of IFI44L RNA in a sample obtained from the subject. Additional RNA markers for determining infection type are also disclosed. Kits capable of determining infection type are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of measuring the amount of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) polypeptide in a fluid sample of a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method uses a lateral flow immunoassay (LFT) device.

Abstract: A method of determining an infection type in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the concentration of a first determinant selected from the group consisting of the determinants which are set forth in Table 1 and a second determinant selected from the group of the determinants which are set forth in Table 2 in a subject derived sample, wherein the concentration is indicative of the infection type.

Abstract: A method of classifying the severity of a coronaviral infection of a subject is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the TRAIL and/or IP10 protein level in a body liquid sample of the subject, wherein the level is indicative of the severity of the coronaviral infection. Managing treatments for coronaviral infections are also disclosed as well as measuring contagiousness of infections.

Abstract: Methods of determining infection type are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises measuring the amount of a determinant which is set forth in Tables 1 or 2 in a sample derived from the subject, wherein said amount is indicative of the infection type.

Abstract: A method of conducting a biological assay, comprises obtaining data corelative to a temperature of a reagent, mixing the reagent with a sample to provide a mixture, receiving from the mixture a signal indicative of an amount of an analyte in the sample, and correcting the amount based on the obtained data and on a type of the reagent.

Abstract: A method of determining a management course for treating a subject showing symptoms of a disease is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the TRAIL protein level in a blood sample of the subject, wherein when the TRAIL level is below a predetermined amount, the subject is treated as a high-risk patient.

Abstract: A method of measuring risk assessment in a patient with appendicitis is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) measuring the TRAIL protein level in a blood sample of the patient; and (b) providing a risk assessment based on the TRAIL protein level.
