The immunopathogenesis of sepsis

Cohen, Jonathan·2002·Nature

Abstract

Sepsis is a condition that results from a harmful or damaging host response to infection. Many of the components of the innate immune response that are normally concerned with host defences against infection can, under some circumstances, cause cell and tissue damage and hence multiple organ failure, the clinical hallmark of sepsis. Because of the high mortality of sepsis in the face of standard treatment, many efforts have been made to improve understanding of the dysregulation of the host response in sepsis. As a result, much has been learnt of the basic principles governing bacterial-host interactions, and new opportunities for therapeutic intervention have been revealed.

  • Systemic production of IL-10 following the onset of a cytokine storm is a marker of a counter-anti-inflammatory response that has been termed 'immunoparalysis,' in that it is associated with downregulation of neutrophil and monocyte function in the systemic circulation.

    “Systemic production of IL-10 following the onset of a cytokine storm is a marker of a counter-anti-inflammatory response that has been termed “immunoparalysis,” in that it is associated with downregulation of neutrophil and monocyte function in the systemic circulation (32,42,49).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
