Infectious Disease Clinical Calculators & Assessment Tools
Evidence-based infectious disease calculators for bacteremia mortality risk (qPitt), systemic inflammation screening (SIRS Criteria), infective endocarditis diagnosis (Modified Duke Criteria), dengue severity classification (WHO 2009), and HIV clinical staging (WHO Staging).
Why This Matters
Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Gram-negative bacteremia carries a 10-30% mortality rate, making early risk stratification critical for appropriate triage and management. The SIRS criteria help identify patients with systemic inflammation who may have sepsis. Infective endocarditis has a 20-30% 1-year mortality, and the Modified Duke Criteria enable standardized diagnosis. Dengue affects 390 million people annually, and proper classification using WHO criteria reduces mortality from >20% to <1%. HIV/AIDS still affects 39 million people globally, and WHO clinical staging guides treatment decisions in resource-limited settings worldwide.
When to Use
Use qPitt for patients with Gram-negative bacteremia to assess 30-day mortality risk and guide ICU triage. Use SIRS Criteria for any patient with suspected infection or inflammation to screen for systemic inflammatory response. Use Modified Duke Criteria for patients with suspected infective endocarditis, especially those with fever + heart murmur + bacteremia. Use WHO Dengue Classification for patients with fever and clinical suspicion of dengue in endemic areas or returning travelers. Use WHO HIV Staging for HIV-positive patients to determine clinical stage and guide treatment initiation.
Available Infectious Disease Calculators
qPitt
The qPitt (quick Pitt) bacteremia score is a simplified version of the Pitt bacteremia score used to predict 30-day mortality in patients with Gram-negative bacteremia. It assesses five clinical parameters.
Calculate →SIRS Criteria
The Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria are a set of four physiological parameters used to identify patients with systemic inflammation. The presence of two or more criteria suggests SIRS and should prompt evaluation for underlying infection or other causes.
Calculate →Duke Criteria IE
The Modified Duke Criteria are the most widely used diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis. They combine major criteria (positive blood cultures and echocardiographic findings) with minor criteria to categorize cases as definite, possible, or rejected.
Calculate →Dengue Classification
The WHO 2009 dengue classification categorizes patients into three severity groups: dengue without warning signs, dengue with warning signs (requiring close monitoring), and severe dengue (life-threatening).
Calculate →WHO HIV Staging
The WHO clinical staging system for HIV/AIDS classifies patients into four progressive stages based on clinical conditions, from asymptomatic (Stage 1) to AIDS-defining conditions (Stage 4). It guides treatment decisions and prognosis assessment.
