Scientists probe why some kids struggle to fight infections after surviving septic shock
NCT ID NCT02848144
Summary
This study aimed to understand if children who survive a severe infection called septic shock develop a weakened immune system, similar to what happens in adults. Researchers measured immune markers in the blood of 105 children with severe shock and compared them to children having routine surgery. The goal was to see if this immune weakness makes children more likely to get new infections in the hospital and stay sick longer.
