Evaluation of circulating host-and pathogen-derived markers of infection and inflammation in the laboratory diagnosis of SEPSIS

Patients with sepsis need to be distinguished from those with systemic inflammation due to non-infectious causes (SIRS) so that empiric antimicrobial therapy can be administered timeously to those with sepsis. The current study was designed to evaluate the potential of clinical parameters and circul...
