abstract：:Severe sepsis is more and more frequent, especially because of an increased rate of immunocompromised patients. Despite the improvement in the overall prognosis of HIV/AIDS patients and the improvement of global ICU care, the prognosis of HIV/ADS patients hospitalized in ICU with severe sepsis remained poor. This situ...
