Abstract

Viral infections are ubiquitous in humans, animals, and plants. Real-time methods to identify viral infections are limited and no rapidly deployable detection technology exists. Previous research identified that tissues produce unique volatile organic compounds (VOC) and demonstrated that VOC concentrations change during pathologic states including infection, neoplasia, or metabolic disease. Patterns of VOC expression may be pathogen-specific and may be associated with an odor that could be used for disease detection.
