such as asthma and diabetes will revolutionise medicine, predict scientists from

of patients that are associated with certain infections or illnesses.
Respiratory specialist Peter Openshaw of Imperial says he hopes the team鈥檚
prototype device, which tells doctors the exact cause of sore throats鈥攖hus
avoiding the unnecessary use of antibiotics鈥攚ill be ready for clinical
tests within two years. The researchers think there will be a
multibillion-dollar market for such devices.
