Every year, medical diagnostics are getting better and better thanks to the tremendous development of new methods that enable the precise detection of the many different molecules present in biological fluids during an infection. Nevertheless, the rapid and even real-time analysis of bacterial, fungal, or viral infections is still far from ideal, which is why many efforts are being made around the world to improve methods that could enable the fastest and least invasive diagnosis of infections of various aetiologies. Recently, scientists at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences led by prof. Agnieszka Kamińska presented an effective way to distinguish the type of infection in biological fluids using the diagnostic technique of surface-enhanced Raman scattering. They have successfully unravelled the complexities in the area of rapid diagnosis of fertility and disease in women. fluids. Let's take a closer look at their discovery.
