Damage-associated molecular patterns in bacteraemic infection, including a comparative analysis with bacterial DNA, a pathogen-associated molecular pattern

Abstract excerpt

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are key triggers of inflammation in sepsis. However, they have rarely been studied simultaneously. Thus, in the present study of patients with bacteraemic infection, we aimed to study how DAMP dynamics are linked to disease severity and outcome and to compare diagnostic and prognostic properties of a DAMP and a...
