Human Neutrophil Lipocalin as an Aid in the Diagnosis of Bacterial Infection in the Emergency Department

The aim of this study is to improve the medical care of patients with infections for which the cause cannot be clearly identified as bacterial or viral. To achieve this, we are investigating a new inflammatory marker in the blood that may help identify severe bacterial infections more quickly. Early detection is important to prevent complications and ensure that patients receive the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible. This is an observational study. The knowledge gained from this study may help improve the care of patients with infections of unclear origin by supporting faster diagnosis, earlier treatment, improved risk assessment, and better planning of follow-up care.
