NCT ID NCT01135277

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study looked at whether sepsis causes immune suppression that makes ICU patients more prone to additional infections. Researchers compared 50 patients with and without sepsis by measuring immune markers in blood and lung fluid. The goal was to better understand how sepsis affects the body's defenses, not to test a new treatment.
