Diagnosing the flu after the first sneeze, a new U.S. study
A group of U.S. researchers are trying to verify that you can diagnose the flu before it gets the classic symptoms such as sneezing or coughing: to do so were enrolled hundreds of college students, who get the contact with the researchers just a fellow dorm or class falls ill. When scientists identify a sick boy, submit all their 'bench near a dormitory or a test based on the analysis of a few drops of blood. The test, being tested, aims to identify the molecular changes that occur in the body while it tries to fight the onset of a viral infection: researchers Duke University, led by geneticist Geoffrey Ginsburg, these indicators called the "genomic fingerprints" that show when the immune system begins to fight a viral respiratory illness. In a series of previous experiments, U.S. scientists together with colleagues in London had tested the effectiveness of the test volunteers who were infected directly in the nose with different respiratory viruses. The review has correctly identified the "genomic fingerprints" in people who would be soon developed the flu or other respiratory illnesses. Funded by the U.S. Department of Defense with $ 19.5 million, the study hopes to demonstrate the ability to diagnose great advance in subjects who were infected by the flu. In practice, this could lead to procedures for isolation of those infected in order to limit the spread of the virus.
