Objective: Sepsis is characterized by high incidence and mortality rates, making early recognition and risk stratification critical for preventing delayed treatment and overtreatment. This study investigated the potential of monocytic (m) HLA-DR as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of sepsis.
Methods: In this prospective study, we collected blood in EDTA-anticoagulated tubes within 48 h from patients diagnosed with sepsis or infection and analyzed the percentage of mHLA-DR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin within 2 h of collection.
