The systemic inflammatory response induced by trauma is reflected by multiple phenotypes of blood neutrophils.

Abstract excerpt

Secondary morbidity and mortality after trauma are mainly due to a dysfunctional immune system. Severe injury can trigger a systemic inflammatory response, which is characterised by pre-activation or priming of neutrophils in peripheral blood. Signals initiated as result of local tissue damage can further activate these neutrophils leading to post-injury inflammatory complications. Additional trauma caused by...
