Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation of a lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14C-159T gene polymorphism to severe sepsis susceptibility and prognosis in patients with extensive burns. METHODS: The study group consisted of 118 normal controls and 16 patients with burns covering more than 60 percent total body surface area. Typing of each patient for the CD14C-159T gene polymorphism was performed by analyzing...
