abstract：PURPOSE:Septic shock induces a decrease in dendritic cells (DCs) that may contribute to sepsis-induced immunosuppression. We analyzed the time course of circulating DCs in patients with septic shock and its relation to susceptibility to intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infections. METHODS:We enrolled adult patients ...
