Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the early differential diagnosis and detection, prognosis and determination of the degree of severity of a case of sepsis and systemic infections similar to sepsis and also for the determination of the course of infection during therapy. The above is achieved, whereby the amount of CA 125 in a biological fluid from a patient is determined, preferably with determination of at least one further parameter suitable for diagnosis of sepsis, for a patient who has sepsis or is suspected of having sepsis and, from the determined amounts of CA 125 conclusions are drawn as to the presence, expected course, the degree and/or the success of measures taken for the therapy of sepsis.
