Cell Host & Microbe Diagnosing Infectious Disease
Acute respiratory infections are a common reason for seeking medical attention. Using human viral challenge studies with the common cold virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza A, a Duke team led by the IGSP's Geoff Ginsburg developed peripheral blood gene expression signatures that distinguish individuals with symptomatic infections from uninfected individuals with more than 95% accuracy.
