Diagnosis of infection in critical care.

Abstract:

:Sepsis is the primary cause of death in the intensive care unit. The prevention of sepsis complications requires an early and accurate diagnosis as well as the appropriate mon itoring. A deep knowledge of the immunologic basis of sepsis is essential to better understand the scope of incorporating a new marker into clinical practice. Besides revising this theoretical aspect, the current available tools for bacterial iden tification have been briefly reviewed as well as a variety of new markers showing either well-recognized or potential usefulness for diagnosis and prognosis of infections in crit ically ill patients. Particular conditions such as community acquired pneumonia, pedi atric sepsis, or liver transplantation, among others, have been separately treated, since the optimal approaches and markers might be different in these special cases.
