Abstract
- In a very real sense, sepsis illustrates the multiple dimensions of the immune response of critically ill patients. On the one hand, sepsis can be viewed as the simple result of the interplay between a pathogen and the immune response to that pathogen. On the other hand, it is becoming clearer that this interplay is much more complex than it appeared. It often leads to major defects in immunity during recovery, conferring increased susceptibility to secondary infections and leading to worsened outcomes [1, 2].
