Host-response biomarkers are associated with inflammation and can be measured early in acute infection. Research indicates that certain combinations of these biomarkers may be prognostic for cytokine storm, which is an out-of-control immune response that is and associated with bad outcomes in COVID-19 and sepsis. Our panels will provide rapid results that may give insights about immune response, may help inform treatment decisions and may direct resource allocation in a crisis.
