  • Methods to detect and treat SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) infection
    Patent number: 12781286
    Abstract: Provided are methods of making a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection classifier for a platform, and optionally a non-COVID-19 viral infection classifier, a bacterial infection classifier, a non-infectious illness classifier, and/or a healthy subjects classifier for the platform. Methods and systems for determining the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection in a subject or for determining the viral stage of infection of a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) illness in a subject suffering therefrom are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • METHODS TO DETECT AND TREAT A FUNGAL INFECTION
    Publication number: 20240309469
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining whether a subject has a fungal infection such as candidemia, or is at risk of developing the same, and methods of treating the subject based on the determination. This determining may include rapid detection of one or multiple pathogen classes at once, such as fungal, viral and bacterial. Systems useful for the same are also provided.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF ASPERGILLUS INFECTION
    Publication number: 20230093117
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, kits, and devices for detecting and treating a fungal infection in a subject. In particular, provided herein are host gene markers that can be used for identifying and treating an Aspergillus infection. The methods, devices, kits, and systems disclosed herein are used to classify subjects based on the expression levels of the identified gene markers. In some embodiments, the Aspergillus infection comprises an infection with Aspergillus fumigatus.
