DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF WOUND INFECTION BY MEASUREMENT OF A PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 IN WOUND FLUID

摘要

The present invention relates to the diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of wound infection by testing wound fluid for the presence of a marker which is present in an amount which is indicative of infection. The marker may be high molecular weight phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) or a marker which is correlated with cPLA2.
