A method is provided in various embodiments for determining a profile data
set for a subject with infectious disease or inflammatory conditions
related to infectious disease based on a sample from the subject, wherein
the sample provides a source of RNAs. The method includes using
amplification for measuring the amount of RNA corresponding to at least 2
constituents from Table 1. The profile data set comprises the measure of
each constituent, and amplification is performed under measurement
conditions that are substantially repeatable.
