Classifying Infected - DimethylSulfate/drooldick GitHub Wiki

Blood type

Infected can be classified by whether or not they have the hemocleave blood type, which is essentially identical to the Bombay phenotype plus the Rh-null phenotype.

Cycle

Serotype

Serotype's binary nature allows it to written in very few characters, which makes it ideal for quickly communicating necessary information about patients. A standard serotype status is written as Z/C/T. For example, a trifected would have the status Z+/C+/T+ or Zpos/Cpos/Tpos. Manually writing out "pos" or "neg" is preferred in typed notes to avoid typos as + and - are adjacent on most keyboards.

• Z+, Z?, and Z- are mutually exclusive
• C+, C?, and C- are mutually exclusive
• T+, T?, and T- are mutually exclusive

When talking about infected in a general sense -- that is to say, anyone positive to at least one of Z, C, or T viruses -- sometimes people will simply write out predpos, pred+, or p+, as a shorthand for predator syndrome. Licentia's healthcare system prefers to use I (as in infected) due to their objection to the term predator syndrome, but even their own academics are shifting towards the standard vernacular.

• P+, P?, and P- are mutually exclusive
• I+, I?, and I- are mutually exclusive

HIV and diabetes are known to have serious implications for infected and are similarly marked, even though diabetes is not as binary as the others, nor is it infectious.

• H+, H?, and H- are mutually exclusive
• nD (not diabetic), pD (pre-diabetic), D? (unknown status), D1 (type-1 diabetic), and D2 (type-2 diabetic) are mutually exclusive

Example: Jang-mi the Elder would be Z+/C+/T-/H+/pD
