Method for diagnosis of sepsis with determination of ca 125
First Claim
1. Method for early differential diagnosis and detection, for prognosis and assessment of the severity or therapy-accompanying assessment of the course of sepsis or sepsis-like systemic infections, comprising testing a biological fluid of a patient in whom sepsis is present or sepsis is suspected for the presence and/or amount of CA 125, wherein the presence and/or amount of CA 125 in said sample is indicative of the presence, the expected course, the severity and/or the success of initiated measures for the treatment of the sepsis.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the differential diagnostic early recognition and recognition, prognosis and determination of the degree of severity of a case of sepsis and systemic infections similar to sepsis and also for the determination of the course of the infection during therapy. The above is achieved, whereby the amount of CA125 in a biological fluid from a patient is determined, preferably with determination of at least one further parameter suitable for diagnosis of sepsis, for a patient who has sepsis or is suspected of having sepsis and, from the determined amounts of CA 125 conclusions are drawn as the presence, expected course, the degree and/or the success of measures taken for the therapy of sepsis.
