- measuring sCD14-ST in a sample collected from a patient suspected of having a surgical site infection or a patient suffering from a surgical site infection, and
- judging that the patient suffers from a surgical site infection when an sCD14-ST value is higher than that of an uninfected person.
A kit for detecting surgical site infections, comprising:
- (a) an antibody specific to sCD14-ST,
- (b) standard data showing a correlation between the amount of sCD14-ST in a sample and surgical site infections, and
- (c) an instruction manual.
