NCT ID NCT02848144
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether children with severe infectious shock develop immune suppression, similar to what is seen in adults. Researchers measured immune markers in 105 children admitted to intensive care and compared them to healthy children having surgery. The goal was to understand how the immune system responds and whether this affects recovery and risk of additional infections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that children with severe infectious shock develop immune suppression similar to adults, guiding future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 105 participants, so results may not apply to all children. It does not test any treatment, so direct benefits are unlikely.
