METHOD FOR THE IN VITRO PREDICTION OF THE PROBABILITY OF A PATIENT DEVELOPING SEVERE DENGUE, BASED ON BLOOD SAMPLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the in vitro prediction of the probability of a patient developing severe dengue, based on a blood sample, which involves: a) determining the quantity of at least one marker, and b) comparing the quantity with a reference quantity obtained from a group of individuals who have been diagnosed with non-severe dengue, and if the quantity determined in step a) is greater than the reference quantity established in step b), predicting that the patient will develop severe dengue, and also to the use of predictive marker(s) and to a kit to predict the development of severe dengue.
