Kinetics of leukocyte CD11b and CD64 expression in severe sepsis and non-infectious critical care patients

摘要

BackgroundLeukocyte surface molecules may improve sepsis diagnostics. Our aim was to study whether monocyte and neutrophil CD11b and CD64 expression differs between patients with severe sepsis (including septic shock) and intensive care unit (ICU) controls, and also to investigate the expression kinetics in patient groups.
