Impaired B-Cell Maturation Contributes to Reduced B Cell Numbers and Poor Prognosis in Sepsis
22 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reduced B cell numbers play a critical role in sepsis immunosuppression. The role of B-cell maturation regulated by T follicular helper (Tfh) cells in reduced B cell numbers during sepsis remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that impaired B-cell maturation contributes to reduced B cell numbers. DESIGN: Retrospective study and observational prospective cohort study. SETTINGS: Critical care units....
