Monocytic HLA-DR expression kinetics in septic shock patients with different pathogens, sites of infection and adverse outcomes

open access: yesCritical Care, 2020
Background Decreased monocytic (m)HLA-DR expression is the most studied biomarker of sepsis-induced immunosuppression. To date, little is known about the relationship between sepsis characteristics, such as the site of infection, causative pathogen, or ...

A 9-mRNA signature measured from whole blood by a prototype PCR panel predicts 28-day mortality upon admission of critically ill COVID-19 patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Immune responses affiliated with COVID-19 severity have been characterized and associated with deleterious outcomes. These approaches were mainly based on research tools not usable in routine clinical practice at the bedside. We observed that a multiplex

Transcriptome modulation by hydrocortisone in severe burn shock: ancillary analysis of a prospective randomized trial

open access: yesCritical Care, 2017
Background Despite shortening vasopressor use in shock, hydrocortisone administration remains controversial, with potential harm to the immune system. Few studies have assessed the impact of hydrocortisone on the transcriptional response in shock, and we

Cardiovascular effects of immunosuppression agents

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Immunosuppressive medications are widely used to treat patients with neoplasms, autoimmune conditions and solid organ transplants. Key drug classes, namely calcineurin inhibitors, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, and purine synthesis ...

Early herpes and TTV DNAemia in septic shock patients: a pilot study

open access: yesIntensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2019
Background Septic shock patients exhibit an increased incidence of viral reactivation. Precise timing of such reactivation—as an early marker of immune suppression, or as a consequence of the later—is not known precisely.

Understanding sepsis-induced immunosuppression and organ dysfunctions: from immunosuppression to immunotherapy

open access: yesExploration of Immunology, 2022
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by dysregulated host immune response to infection, leading to persistent inflammation followed by immunosuppression.

Platelet-Activating Factor-Induced Reduction in Contact Hypersensitivity Responses Is Mediated by Mast Cells via Cyclooxygenase-2-Dependent Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) stimulates numerous cell types via activation of the G protein-coupled PAF receptor (PAFR). PAFR activation not only induces acute proinflammatory responses, but it also induces delayed systemic immunosuppressive effects ...

Use of convalescent plasma in COVID‐19 patients with immunosuppression

open access: yesTransfusion, 2021
In the absence of effective countermeasures, human convalescent plasma has been widely used to treat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the causative agent of novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID‐19), including among patients with innate or ...

Intestinal transplantation in children under FK 506 immunosuppression [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Intestinal transplantation, solitary (n = 3) or in combination with the liver (n = 7), was performed in 10 pediatric patients with intestinal failure. The liver was only replaced if there was liver failure and portal hypertension.
