<p>A method of diagnosing and/or prognosticating respiratory bacterial infections in a subject comprising the steps of (a) performing in vitro a measurement of the level of a marker in the form of (i) urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), (ii) soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and/or (iii) one or more degradation products of (i) or (ii) in a biological fluid sample from a subject, and (b) using the measurement value obtained to evaluate the state of the subject. Especially Streptococcus pneumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections may be diagnosed and/or prognosticated.</p> |
