Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a serious condition often arising from combat injuries, marked by dangerous organ dysfunction due to an inappropriate immune response to infection, and contributes significantly to mortality and high healthcare costs in intensive care settings.
- Current treatments like antibiotics and fluid therapy have not greatly improved patient outcomes, while sepsis is increasingly linked to immunosuppression, which disrupts normal immune function and can lead to death.
- Recent research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind sepsis-induced immunosuppression and exploring immune checkpoint inhibitors as potential therapies to restore immune effectiveness and improve patient survival in septic shock.
