ABSTRACT
Various analytical methods can be applied to concentrate, separate, and examine trace volatile organic metabolites in the breath, with the potential for noninvasive, rapid, real-time identification of various disease processes, including an array of microbial infections. Although biomarker discovery and validation in microbial infections can be technically challenging, it is an approach that has shown great promise, especially for infections that are particularly difficult to identify with standard culture and molecular amplification-based approaches. This article discusses the current state of breath analysis for the diagnosis of infectious diseases.
