Cytokine profile in severe gram-positive and gram-negative abdominal sepsis
Sepsis is a principal cause of death in critical care units worldwide and consumes considerable healthcare resources. The aim of our study was to determine whether the early cytokine profile can discriminate between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteraemia (GPB and GNB, respectively) and to assess the prognostic value regarding outcome in critically ill patients with severe abdominal sepsis....
متن کاملConcordance of endotoxemia with gram-negative bacteremia in patients with gram-negative sepsis: a meta-analysis.
The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is a sensitive method for detecting endotoxin. Using gram-negative (GN) bacteremia as the basis for comparison, concordance with endotoxemia in 45 studies could be expressed as an odds ratio. Calculation of summary odds ratios by the Mantel-Haenszel-Peto method indicated that the concordance of the results was no higher by the chromogenic LAL assay than ...
متن کاملSevere Gram-Negative Intertrigo of the Feet
Introduction: Intertrigo is a common disease of the skin usually caused by fungi and/or bacteria, often involving major or minor skin folds. Here, we report a case of severe, ulcerative intertrigo of all interdigital folds of both feet caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a patient with type II diabetes who acquired the infection during a trip to Senegal. Case Pres...
متن کاملEarly changes of CD4-positive lymphocytes and NK cells in patients with severe Gram-negative sepsis
INTRODUCTION Our aim was to define early changes of lymphocytes and of NK cells in severe sepsis and to correlate them with serum levels of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1). METHODS Blood was sampled from 49 patients with proven highly suspected infection by Gram-negative pathogens, within 12 hours of the advent of severe sepsis, and was also sampled from six...
متن کاملCharacterising Cytokine Gene Expression Signatures in Patients with Severe Sepsis
INTRODUCTION Severe sepsis in humans may be related to an underlying profound immune suppressive state. We investigated the link between gene expression of immune regulatory cytokines and the range of illness severity in patients with infection and severe sepsis. METHODS A prospective observational study included 54 ICU patients with severe sepsis, 53 patients with infection without organ fai...
