Abstract:Background
Due to their immediate exhalation after generation at the cellular/microbiome levels, exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may provide real-time information on pathophysiological mechanisms and host response to infections. In recent years, metabolic profiling of most frequent respiratory infection gained interest as it holds potential for early non-invasive detection of pathogens and monitoring of disease progression and response to therapy.
Methods
In contrast to previous studies with pre-se… Show more
