Blood cell ratio for infections in hospitalized patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is looking at whether a simple blood test that measures the balance of two types of white blood cells (neutrophils and lymphocytes) can help tell how serious a microbial infection is in patients who are in the hospital. The hope is to find a simpler way to monitor infections and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are currently hospitalized
- You have a confirmed infection caused by a microbe (such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses)
- You do not have a weakened immune system (immunodeficiency)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two blood test measurements (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lactate/albumin ratio) to see which better predicts how severe an infection is in ICU patients with sepsis. It aims to find a simpler way to track inflammation.
This study looks at simple blood tests (like levels of certain white blood cells and a protein called procalcitonin) to see if they can predict how well people with sepsis will do in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand your infection better.
This study looks at specific immune cells and how fats are transported in the blood to predict which people will have a severe bacterial infection (like pneumonia or sepsis). Your results may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier.
This study uses a blood sample to look at a type of white blood cell that may help doctors identify how serious an infection is early on. By joining, you may help improve how sepsis is detected and treated.
This study looks at blood test “markers” to tell the difference between infection and non-infectious illness. It may help doctors recognize infection earlier and avoid confusion with other conditions.
This trial uses a simple blood test to help doctors quickly tell if your infection is caused by bacteria or a virus. It only requires a small extra blood sample taken during your regular emergency visit.
