Immunosuppression in patients who die of sepsis and multiple organ failure.

TL;DR: Patients who die in the ICU following sepsis compared with patients who die of nonsepsis etiologies have biochemical, flow cytometric, and immunohistochemical findings consistent with immunosuppression, and targeted immune-enhancing therapy may be a valid approach in selected patients with sepsi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunosuppression in Patients Who Die of Sepsis and Multiple Organ Failure

TL;DR: In this article, rapid postmortem spleen and lung tissue harvest was performed at the bedsides of 40 patients who died in intensive care units (ICUs) of academic medical centers with active severe sepsis to characterize their immune status at the time of death (2009-2011).
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactivation of Multiple Viruses in Patients with Sepsis

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that reactivation of latent viruses occurred with prolonged sepsis thereby providing evidence of clinically-relevant immunosuppression and potentially providing a means to serially-monitor patients' immune status and if viral loads are markedly elevated, they may contribute to morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

The changing immune system in sepsis: is individualized immuno-modulatory therapy the answer?

TL;DR: The future of immune therapy in sepsis will necessitate identification of the immunologic phase using clinical and laboratory parameters as well as biomarkers of innate and adaptive immunity.
