Effectiveness of corticosteroid-treatment in COVID-19 patients with different phenotypes
Continue reading →: Effectiveness of corticosteroid-treatment in COVID-19 patients with different phenotypesIn a recent article in Intensive Care Med, EGIS member Matthijs Kox and his team applied machine learning approaches on routine clinical parameters of thousands of critically ill patients affected with COVID-19. Three distinct phenotypes were derived (COVIDICU1-3), each displaying diverse immunological signatures. Only in patients with the hyperinflammatory COVIDICU3…

Shared neutrophil and T cell dysfunction is accompanied by a distinct interferon signature during severe febrile illnesses in children
Continue reading →: Shared neutrophil and T cell dysfunction is accompanied by a distinct interferon signature during severe febrile illnesses in childrenAcute febrile illnesses in children can be secondary to infections or non-infection related inflammatory diseases. Such illness can be life-threatening to children. In this manuscript, we studied immune function at the level of single cells in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome of childhood (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2, severe bacterial infection,…

Review on Advances and Challenges in Sepsis Management
Continue reading →: Review on Advances and Challenges in Sepsis ManagementThe heterogeneity of sepsis poses an immense challenge to the long-term goal of personalising the treatment and management of sepsis patients. Novel techniques and platforms for multidimensional phenotyping of the sepsis patient’s host response have great potential as diagnostic and guiding tools for future sepsis management. In this recent review,…

Reframing sepsis immunobiology for translation
Continue reading →: Reframing sepsis immunobiology for translationA current report in Lancet Resp. Med. includes the inaugural definition for the dysregulated immune responses in sepsis and a road map for studying and reclassifying the sepsis-related immune responses to enable drug discovery and targeted treatments. We highlight that many fundamental immunological concepts such as resistance, disease tolerance, resilience, resolution, and repair…

New review on mechanisms of immune dysregulation in sepsis
Continue reading →: New review on mechanisms of immune dysregulation in sepsisA recent review by the EGIS consortium, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, presents current knowledge and paradigms on mechanisms of immune dysregulation in sepsis. In particular, the EGIS authors discuss conceptual and technical approaches to monitor, evaluate and exploit sepsis-associated immune derangements for the purpose of personalised, high-precision sepsis…
