Abstract：
BACKGROUND:The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) may be triggered by endotoxin. Humans have antibodies directed against the core of endotoxin (endotoxin core antibodies, EndoCAb) that appear to be protective following surgery and in sepsis. We hypothesised that children with elevated antibodies to endotoxin core would be less likely to develop SIRS in their initial period on intensive care. Because of the existing literature we defined two sub-groups according to the primary reason for ICU admission: infection and non-infection. METHODS:We recruited 139 consecutive patients admitted to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with more than one organ failure for longer than 12 h as part of another study. Patients were classified on admission to PICU as having an infectious or a non-infections diagnosis. The occurrence of SIRS within 48 h of admission was recorded along with detailed clinical and demographic data, EndoCAb concentration and the potential confounding variables C-reactive protein and mannose-binding lectin. RESULTS:In the 71 patients admitted without infection (primarily post-operative and head injured) IgG EndoCAb was significantly lower in patients who developed SIRS than those who did not (72 vs. 131 MU/ml), independent of potential confounding variables. In patients with infection there was no significant difference in IgG EndoCAb between children developing SIRS and those who did not (111 vs. 80 MU/ml). CONCLUSION:Head injured and post-operative patients admitted to PICU who develop early SIRS have significantly lower serum IgG EndoCAb levels than those who do not.
