Diagnostic host gene signature to accurately distinguish enteric fever from other febrile diseases

Abstract:

Misdiagnosis of enteric fever is a major global health problem resulting in patient mismanagement, antimicrobial misuse and inaccurate disease burden estimates. Applying a machine-learning algorithm to host gene expression profiles, we identified a diagnostic signature which could accurately distinguish culture-confirmed enteric fever cases from other febrile illnesses (AUROC<95%). Applying this signature to a culture-negative suspected enteric fever cohort in Nepal identified a further 12...
