Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: The alternative complement pathway is a key component of host defense against bacteremia and other infections. However, dysregulated activation can contribute to excessive inflammation and worse clinical outcomes during bacteremia and infectious syndromes such as sepsis. OBJECTIVES: We aim to identify variants in alternative pathway (AP) genes that influence the risk for bacteremia and sepsis. DESIGN,...
