Study reveals persistent CD3+ T-cell decrease linked to higher mortality in elderly patients with sepsis
Journal of Intensive MedicineSepsis is a serious condition that arises due to an improper immune response of the body to an infection. It is characterized by simultaneous unbalanced hyperinflammation and immunosuppression. Though sepsis can have severe impact on patients of all ages, studies on elderly and octogenarian patients remain limited. Now, researchers have explored the immune profile in elderly and octogenarian patients with sepsis. The study reveals that continuous decrease in CD3+ T-cells is associated with higher mortality.
