A method for the diagnosis or prognosis of wound infection comprises measuring the level of an angiogenic factor, in particular vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or angiogenin in a sample of wound fluid. This method may be used to determine whether to treat a wound with anti-microbial or non-antimicrobial wound dressings. Devices, such as swabs and dressings, comprising a binding partner for an angiogenic factor, preferably an antibody, are used for this method. |
