Article Synopsis
- A study of prepubertal patients found a male-to-female ratio of 1.7 in severe sepsis cases, suggesting a similar male predominance as seen in adults, especially in infants under one year (ratio of 2.8).
- Unlike other forms of sepsis, no male predominance was observed in patients with meningococcal sepsis, indicating that factors other than testosterone might contribute to the male preponderance in severe sepsis in early childhood.
