Differential Diagnosis Algorithms
Divided into 10 world regions
Divided into 8 broad symptom
categories:
Undifferentiated fever
Fever with haemorrhage
Fever with rash
Fever with skin/soft tissue
involvement
Fever with respiratory symptoms
Fever with GI symptoms
Fever with jaundice or
hepato/splenomegaly
Fever with neurological symptoms
Next generation assays
Array cards for panels of PCR’s
Plex ID
Will extend range and fill gaps
Intelligent algorithms for patterns
The Plex-ID
Developed by IBIS for detection of designated Biothreat agents
IBIS acquired by Abbott and device rebranded as Plex-ID
Additional panels developed for wide range of pathogens
Theoretical capability:
All bacteria
All viruses

Future steps
Evaluate Plex in comparison with extant tests for whole range of samples
Work up tropical fever panel
Generate data to support future validation for marketing
Determine the relative frequency of different pathogens
Evaluate large sample extraction e.g. for typhoid
Long term:
If commercially available, use Plex as 2nd line diagnostic system across full
range of capability.
Summary
Versatile & capable system
Single instrument has massive coverage
Needs multiple plates to achieve full potential
Currently relatively slow & expensive
Ideal for lower throughput assays and unusual problems
Can be used as basic typing tool
