Abstract: The occurrence development and progression of infectious diseases involves the two aspects: the immune response of both the pathogens and the hosts. At present, pathogen-based testing is the gold standard and the most commonly used method for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. The purpose of the immune system is to identify and eliminate invading pathogens. Testing based on host reactions has become an effective auxiliary means adjunct of traditional pathogen-based tests, with the potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis. The combined application of host-based tests and pathogen-based tests is a new field worth exploring.
