Разнообразие возбудителей  заставляет искать индивидуальный диагностический и терапевтический подход к  пациентам. Рутинные бактериологические и вирусологические методы занимают  продолжительное время до получения результатов, поэтому введение дополнительных лабораторных показателей, помогающих клиницистам при дифференциальной диагностике,  было бы практически важным.
