Research Article: Pneumonia in the first week after polytrauma is associated with reduced blood levels of soluble herpes virus entry mediator

Date Published: 2024-01-16

Abstract:
Background: Pneumonia develops frequently after major surgery and polytrauma and thus in the presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and organ dysfunction. Immune checkpoints balance self-tolerance and immune activation. Altered checkpoint blood levels were reported for sepsis. We analyzed associations of pneumonia incidence in the presence of SIRS during the first week of critical illness and trends in checkpoint blood levels.
